How big are the portions supposed to be?
Someone told me a good tip: to eat half of your plate. And another tip I got was to eat only a cup full of food at each meal.
Are these correct?
Help me out, please. Thanks.

They have a nutrition planner and you count your calories. carbs, protein and fat. A healthy way to lose weight. Gives you a fitness planner too. They have demos for their strength exercises and they describe each exercise and what parts of the body you work on. They also offer support from members & experts and you can ask your ?'s. It's like having your own nutritionist and trainer.

There's a much better way.
6 mini meals is pretty hard to track isn't it?
There is still a lot of debate among nutritionists whether the 6 smaller meals per day idea is any better or worse than the traditional 3 meals per day plan.
You can keep your metabolism rasied either way.

Well, I did this and had a hard time with it. I suggest eating your 3 basic meals with snacks in between. For example, for breakfast eat an omlet or a piece of wheat toast with pb and bananas. About 1 1/2 after that, eat an apple or a rice cake with pb or jelly. For lunch, eat a salad. 2 hours after that, eat veggie sticks or a slim fast/granola bar. Then, eat a lean meat for dinner with veggies.
I use a small plate instead of the big dinner plates. I think the 6 mini meals is hard because it's time consuming and i was always hungry after I ate because you're only allowed 200 calories. I dunno..i wish you the best of luck tho!

Six small meals a day will keep your metabolism running at a faster consistent rate. That is why people who skip meals dont lose weight - they are slowing down their metabolism. And yes, I would eat about 1 or 2 cups per meal. You probably eat 4 cups per meal 3 times a day (12 total) so divide that by 6 - two cups! Make sure you are eating fruits and veggies, too!

im just throwing this out there but theres a diet called the core diet and basically you just have to choose to eat the right things and portion size doesn't matter...then you just add some working out and the pounds start coming off..i know my mom lost 12 lbs on it so far...but me i got a crazy sweet tooth so you gotta be careful with that lol..good luck

if you are trying to lose weight with 6 meals a day, then each of those meals should be about 200 calories each.
p.s. i tried this, and it did not work at all for me. 200 calories is like a nature valley granola bar. not satisfying at all.

use the freezer to add some extra oomph to summer foods freeze grapes for some bite sized delights or get a popsicle mold and freeze some greek yogurt with berries

having less than 1 200 calories a day may slow down your metabolism
