A massive reason for weight gain is people eating too much, simple as. For example, in a lot of restaurants food portions have doubled and sometimes tripled over the last 20 years so it’s no wonder this attitude is seeping into our normal everyday eating habits.
Losing weight is a simple equation: calories in vs. calories out. Eat more calories than you burn, and you gain weight. Eat fewer calories than you burn and you lose weight.
It may seem like a mountain to climb to control your portion sizes but it isn’t that difficult, we promise. Get rid of the hassle of counting calories using scales, cups and apps and simply use your hand. Your fist, palm, thumb and cupped hand are all personalised for your body size and can all be used as simple tools to control your portion sizes. And what’s good is you can take it anywhere with you so you always know what you should be eating!

- Your palm defines your protein portions.
- Your fist defines your veggie portions.
- Your cupped hand defines your carbohydrate portions.
- Your thumb defines your fat portions.
