Book Description

December 1, 1998
Americans are gaining weight at epidemic rates -- and fat-free diets don't work. Now, nutritionist and television personality Came Latt Wiatt is here with the real deal.. The true secret to weight loss, good health, and longer life, says "Hollywood's favorite nutritionist" (Elle), is portion control. In Portion Savvy, the diet designer for such celebrities as Jennifer Aniston and Dennis Quaid maps out a 30-day plan that satisfies the palate and retains the eye to successfully manage food portions.

Slated for her own nationally-syndicated television show this fall, Wiatt focuses her high-profile nutrition practice into a scientifically-proven program that creates a food consciousness by matching intake to energy needs. The book includes perforated illustrations of right-size portions that pop out for easy reference. By helping the reader develop the ability to visualize how much food equals how many calories, Portion Savvy will show how to attain optimal weight and slow the aging process with skills that will last a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Portion Savvy: The 30-Day Smart Plan for Eating Well, February 1, 2000
By 
Sharon (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PORTION SAVVY: THE 30-DAY SMART PLAN FOR EATING WELL (Hardcover)
I always thought I knew how & what to eat. That it was simply a matter of excersicing more to lose weight. I have never been interested in "dieting", most seemed so extreme, and didn't make sense nutrition wise. Nor was I interested in joining Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, the programs don't teach you how to shop, cook or eat for yourself, you have to buy their food. I found this book easy to follow and have lost 25lbs since I read it 9 months ago. It gives you a terrific balance of day to day meal planning, recipes & nutrition information. Now I truely know how much food my body needs to maintain and lose weight. I highly recommend this book for anyone out there who has struggled with their weight. However, like anything you need to be serious about making changes in your habits for it to work. I have never lost this much weight doing anything else. Just try it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Portion Savvy Helped Me!, February 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: PORTION SAVVY: THE 30-DAY SMART PLAN FOR EATING WELL (Hardcover)
I think this book is good for people who are serious about losing weight. I have always exercised, but I also thought I could eat anything I wanted as well. Portion Savvy has taught me that my body does not need the amount of food that I have been putting into it.I didn't use the recipes because I don't really like a structured eating plan. With the information on snacking, metabolism and portions I have been watching what I eat but also eating my favorite foods (like pizza) in moderation. Most people who read this book will be very motivated to lose weight and keep it off but they have to have control of their eating habits. It is not a miracle plan; it is common sense put together with helpful guidelines.

This book finally made me realize I was overheating and just how much. It's simple and easy to understand. I've lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks and I feel like the other 15 are just around the corner.
