Get Your Nutrition on Track With Portion Pals
2008-03-19 20:49:00
I was reading through my Oxygen magazine and reached the Product Talk in the back. I saw neat little nutrition tool called Portion Pals. It’s a pack of 5 translucent discs that show you the correct portion sizes for meat, chicken, fish, side dishes and dessert. For someone who is just starting with their weight loss plan, I think this would be a great tool! I would have purchased it long ago, if I would have known about it! Plus it only costs $18, which is much less than food scales. You can read more about it at www.portionpal.com. If you have tried portion pal or plan to, let us know what you think about it! ShareThis
