Trying to get in shape? Just about everyone I know these days are either on a diet, thinking about going on a diet, or have been there, done that, and want to try something new. So, whether you are an active Weight Watcher member, on some other program, or simply watching your weight, to be in control of your diet and weight, expert dietitian's advise clients to portion out food to meet their dietary goals.

PORTION CONTROL AT HOME:

Do you remember the old adage "I use to live to eat, but now I eat to live?" Well, things do change, don't they. I like to think of it as for the better. I grew up eating eggs fried in bacon grease, fried chicken on Sundays, fried sausage paddies, and biscuits and gravy. For the sake of healthier eating, today there are devices to help us choose better nutritional benefits. One such device is the Escali Cibo nutritional scale. This is a digital food weighing scale that displays calories, sodium, protein, fat, carbohydrates, cholesterol, and fiber via the input of 999 different food codes. It calculates total nutritional value of up to 99 different meal components and measures in ounces, pounds + ounces, or grams accurately to 0.1 ounce or 1 gram increments. The stainless steel tray on this scale lifts off for easy cleaning. The Escali Cibo will prove to be an indispensable tool in your health conscious living.

PORTION CONTROL EATING OUT:

Are you serious about losing weight and eating healthier? If so, you know how difficult it is to keep your diet under control when eating out. My wife lost 78pounds in 18 months. She carried a bottle of sugar free maple syrup, fat free butter spray, and fat free salad dressing in her purse when she went out to eat with friends. She did this because she was committed to losing weight. Technology, once again, has come a long way. The Escali Liberta series digital pocket scale is designed with the user in mind. Its sleek design fits in the palm of your hand and is easy to calibrate. The Liberta is for those seriously pursuing a healthy diet and concerned about food portion size when away from home. It's in those less self-controlled environments where you need that extra help. That's where most dieters get confounded. The Liberta is a handheld-pocketable food scale that you can take with you anywhere.

BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

Most people focus only on losing weight, not on the fat. You need to strive for preserving lean tissue and losing body fat. Your BMI number will tell you if you are at health risk linked to excess weight. Using the most basic tools - your height and weight - simply plug these numbers into a BMI calculator to learn whether you are obese, overweight, or normal weight. You know about the old standard measuring too, like the tape measure, but today's technology wizards have come up with some very good new devices to measure your body fat. One such device is the Body Mass Index Calculating Bathroom Scale found in our store featuring a high quality precision sensor system with a 330 lb. capacity. The scale turns on and calibrates when you tap the platform with your foot. You can use the remote receiver to show your weight, body mass index, time and date, and store it in memory for comparison at a later date.
