Philosophy Portion control. Nothing is off-limits, but everything must be in moderation.
How It Works Smaller portions mean fewer calories are taken in, so less fat gets stored. A point system assigns a value to portions of all sorts of foods to help tabulate—and limit—daily consumption. To lose half a kilogram a week, you generally need to consume 500 fewer calories a day.
Downside Hunger. Small portions can leave stomachs growling.
