Found this information on a You Tube Video; that makes sense and has worked well for a Sleever into this 2 yrs. and keeps her weight in check.
She looks great and loves her life now.

Here IS HER ROUTINE TO KEEP HER FOOD AND DRINK PORTIONS :

Protein drinks:
Name Brand: Costco's Premier Nutrition in Chocolate.
Another product I use is: Chike's strawberry and chocolate flavors.
Try them for yourself @ ilikechike.com
Since No sodas now I use the following:
Drinks: Name Brand Celestial Seasonings Cold Brew Ice Tea:
Flavor Tropical & Blueberry> Mix Cold Water, ice cubes, use 1 or 2 bags brew, Very tasty, of course sugar free......
Celestial seasonings cold brew ice tea, I buy mine from Sprouts.
Flavor: Tropical: Mix cold water ice cubes; 1 or 2 bags brew these very tasty and sugar free... add sugar substitute or flavoring.

Food warmer: Because food gets cold because it takes so long to eat a meal.
Brookstone beverage warmer
A MUST HAVE FOR ME THAT HAS KEPT MY ICE CREAM EATING IN CHECK:
********YONANA MACHINE*********,
Yonana machine, I bought mine from Amazon but you can also buy it at Bed Bath and Beyond.

FREEZE BANANAS, OR ANY FROZEN FRUIT, MANGOS, PINEAPPLE, CHERRIES, ANY FRUIT, STRAWBERRIES,
AND PUT DIRECTLY INTO MACHINE AND A FROZEN TREAT COMES OUT. LIKE SOFT SERVE, THIS IS MY SAVIOUR.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT. IT HAS BECOME MY SAVIOUR.

NEXT ITEM is:Silicone CUP HOLDER
VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP MY PORTIONS CORRECT;
***********MY MEASURING CUP********Measuring cup: It is a Silicone CUP HOLDER
I bought mine in a pack from JCPenny's.


Silicone cup holder
Fill cup holder with 3/4 of a cup of protein little veggies and little carbs.
Use this when you go to restaurants, at home, at work, everywhere,
Takes the guessing out of how much to eat. you won't eat to much or too less.

I hope you find this helpful to you I think this girl made more sense than anyone else on how to keep a hold on eating to much or too little.

Please pass on to others, and I let me know what you think.

I hope YOU Do well and Great luck.
