Baffled by serving sizes?
Confused by what an ounce sizes up to?
Wondering how in the world you’re supposed to know what a tablespoon looks like on the fly?
WELL—so are A LOT of folks! It’s been shown that even health professionals can get serving sizes wrong! Trust me—it’s TRUE!!!
SO … if you’re like me and sometimes need an extra-oomph tool to help you accurately spot a tablespoon from a quarter cup OR a half-cup from one cup sans kitchen paraphernalia, check out WebMD’s AWESOME Portion Size Plate. This handy-dandy tool visually displays serving sizes for all the food groups from dairy to veggies! Personally, I think it’s pretty gosh darn cool!!!

I say goodbye to fad diets, bogus "fat-burning" pills, and processed, non-food food. And, I smile hello to a healthifying lifestyle full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, sweaty workouts, the occasional "chocolate fix," sleep, family and friend time, and quality "me time" with a focus on health. I look forward to your comments and thoughts as the posts healthify on by!
