Portion Savvy

Carrie Wiatt puts an end to dietary delusion with a program designed to do much more than help you reach your desired weight. Follow the Portion Savvy plan for thirty days, and you'll know the secrets to controlled eating and successful food management -- without sacrificing the wonderful flavors, textures and variety that every palate craves.

The key is portion control. Portion-savvy men and women don't diet -- they manage food wisely by knowing their right-sized servings, a skill that "clicks in" every time they make a food choice. Carrie Wiatt's exclusive food portion 11 "pop-outs" help you to perfect your judgment and stay within your daily calorie needs -- wherever and whenever you eat. With fun, imaginative menus for meals and snacks, Carrie Wiatt retrains your eye and your appetite -- you'll find yourself not only craving healthier foods, but feeling satisfied by smaller servings. And with the delicious and easy low-fat recipes that set the Portion Savvy plan in motion, you'll be creating healthy habits without even knowing it. You'll wonder why you ever ate any other way!

But best of all, Carrie Wiatt prepares the most essential body part for the "new you": the mind. Like a reassuring friend, she helps you to manage food decisions, maintain balance, eliminate "eating triggers," and call on visualization and relaxation techniques. With these practical safeguards under your belt -- where you'll find a lot more room -- you'll make healthy choices with confidence and pleasure, whatever your lifestyle or taste preferences.

Let the "Queen of Lean" (GQ) inspire you to a healthier, happier body in just thirty days, and help you enjoy the lifelong benefits of looking and feeling sensational.
