Protein Sized for you

The size of a protein portion – meat, poultry, fish, eggs, soy or beans - that we HOPE to get to over time - is the size of a standard tape cassette.

If you’re eating more than a CD’S worth of protein at a meal right now, you need to GRADUALLY move towards a healthier volume. Sooooo either serve yourself a little less than you’re used to, OR take a little bit off your plate before you start to eat.

Keep the smaller protein portion size steady for about a week, and then begin to size it down once again for another week, if you’re ready.

Do this, little by little, in the same way each week, finding your own rhythm. Reducing gradually – step by step - until you get to cassette sized protein portions at each meal is sound advice!!!!!.
