For the past few weeks the product "Portion Pals" has been popping up in random places. At first I thought it was some freaky weight loss program (ala Jenny Craig) until I started reading the recommendations on ThisNext.

Apparently this is a magical weight loss program, which I typically scoff at such thing but after reading up on it, this thing makes sense. A lot of sense. It is a tool that helps you do what you are supposed to do to lose weight. No need for a dramatic carb free diet or a crash diet of power bars and diet coke -- just sensible everyday food in the correct portion sizes.

Portion Pals are discs that double as cutting boards that allow you measure out the proper amount of food you should be putting in your body. Do they work? According to the site, ThisNext users, fashionistas, and celebrities they do. I am ordering a set right now, so you know I believe the hype.
