The key is small portions frequently.



I have a few friends who have jumped on the bandwagon and are also trying this "strange new way of life." My friend, D, yesterday was asking about portioning an avocado and wanted to know how I eat it. I was going to email her a picture of my dinner last night, but then decided to share it with everyone.

A piece of lean protein (in this case lean pork) with a slice of avocado on top and alllll the green veggies I want! P.S. I had already had a few bites of the meat when I had the brilliant idea, that's why it's a bit small.

I was also telling D, I try to eat carbs for my first three meals and fats for my last two (sometimes three). So nuts and avocado are usually consumed with dinner.

I have stopped counting my green veggies... Normally the calories are so insignificant, that it's pointless to weigh and spend time doing additional math. Vegetables are not how I got fat!

Happy dieting, friends!
