Hey there Fit Body's,

Melissa and I were cruising the aisles at
Border's the other day, when, as usual
I parked my butt on the floor fully absorbed
in a book.

My deep concentration was broken by
primal urges--I was hungry. I found
Mel a few aisles over also parked
on the floor. She looked up at me and
gushed that I had to look at this book.

The book was by Tosca Reno, an advocate
of clean eating. Her ideas are similar to what's
presented in the Fit Body meal plans so in that
respect she's pretty cool.

One of her ideas caught my eye, not for its
originality but more because it's a simple
reminder/solution for a problem many of
us have had...

What's an easy way to figure out portion sizes
without using a food scale?

Your paws.

Here's how it works:

Protein: about the size of your palm

Carbs (brown rice, whole wheat pasta, quinoa, etc) : what will fit in 1 cupped hand

Veggies: what will fit in 2 cupped hands

If you're like me and not OCD enough or
patient enough to weigh and measure your
food this keeps things waaay easy.

Another plus is that you can never lose your
hands, but please wash them before playing
with your food : )

Go sweat, eat frequently, and show off that
fit body.

Committed to rocking your fitness,

John
