Hi Zuzanna,
I just stumbled on your website and have to say I am amazed, for a while now I’ve been working out, I’m 32, 5′ 11″ and 134lbs, but after having 3 kids and not having been to a gym in over 10 years, I’ve decided to start to work-out, tone-up before the summer…
I saw you and instead of being jealous I’ve decided I am going to work out EVERY day. Thanks so much for inspiring me!!!

Yes i have to agree with you Zuzana about that because i know i will be that type of a person that don’t have the patience for counting the calorie on every little single thing, I mean it will be okay here and there, but for every second and minute on every single item…..i just can imagine it.
Thats funny because, I saw the show today while at the laundromat, “Ask the Doctors” or “The Doctors” they were talking about eating in the right amount portions and sizing it with your hands.!!!

Hey Zuzana,

I checked out the Dr.Povov website and i think im going to try some products there to cleanse the body. I’m going to try the teas and ointment. I’ll let you know how it works.

Perhaps a good diet strategy is to chew on nuts that have a low GI (glycemic index) value – They are very filling, and suppress your appetite.

Hi Zuzana,

Great tips, thanks! Do you take any vitamins or food supplements? If yes, do you take it continuously or with breaks?

Hi Suzanna,

Greetings from The Netherlands.
Thank you so much for creating this website. It is amazing! I have recently stumbled upon it and have since implemented your cardio routines in my own. They leave me bust but I swear time flies! so much better than the boring minutes on the treadmill!

Thank you for posting the info about counting calories. I swear it has put me off so often. But this is straight forward and I am trying it out first thing tomorrow morning!

[...] I started to eat bigger portions in the winter, when I discovered clean eating. I thought that I could eat more, as long as my meals were healthy. My body fat percentage stayed the same, but my muscles got bigger. It has been about 2 weeks now since I started to cut back on the size of my portions, and I can already see some results. My thighs and butt are shrinking. I don’t count my calories anymore, because I find that completely annoying, and instead I just measure my portions by hand. [...]

I’ve been trying to help my husband to loose some weight. I went through some of the advice you gave and I find it very helpful. I’m actually tempted to follow your summer camp exercise routine myself. ;) Thank you!

Zuzana,
Are you saying all of the 6 meals need to be 1 palms sized amount of protein or cupped hand for non mean protein, 2 cupped and of fruit slash veggies, and 1 cupped hand of grains or starch carbs? I am asking because I thought the snacks meals would be smaller. I really like this method but I want to make sure I am selection correctly for all six meals. Thanks for your help.

Hi Zuzana,

I have the same question as Melinda. Please help, so I can do the portion
sizes correctly.

Thanks for your time! :)

HI Wendy, you should eat protein and carbs together with each meal in order to follow clean diet. You can get carbs either from whole grains or vegetable. Vegetable is always better choice and if you eat vegetables with the protein than you don’t need carbs from whole grains. If your recipe contains both sources of carbohydrates then make sure that the amount of whole grains is not bigger then what can fit in your cupped hand.

Hi, Zuzana and readers!

The method that I use and sort of came up with for myself was to take a bit of time and get an education on the foods I eat. There is a WEALTH of information out there on the nutritional content of EVERYTHING. I eat very clean and simple foods, what I like to call culinary minimalism. And since I’ve become familiar with the ingredients I use, I can mix and match just about anything at a moments notice. I use no real planning, I just stock myself up with healthy ingredients, use them in the proper portions and that’s it. The only time I’m really investigating these days is when I try some sort of prepared food, because they sneak all kinds of secret nasties in there. The secret is simplification.

You guys have a great site! Keep up the great work!

Hi Zuzana!
Question on the hand portion control: are you picking up uncooked or cooked food? Also for the protein, it should fit on your palm.. but in the case of steak, how thick? :D I have been working on eating unprocessed foods for a couple of weeks, and my body is automatically asking for smaller portions more often, so I thought I should try this together with workouts! :D Thank you for all your help!

I am very interested in a sugar-free living. I currently have a sweet-tooth, and am finding it difficult to find meal plans, what to eat for snacks, etc. While diabetes is not something that runs in my family, I am still concerned and would like to be smart and take a proactive approach to my health. Any tips or advice?

Hey! So, I tried to click on the zig zag diet link, but my computer won’t pull it up. Could you explain what that is? Also, I just wanted to say thanks for this website! It provides a wealth of information on all aspects of a healthy lifestyle, and I really appreciate how you look at exercising and make it so much fun! I’m on the fourth day of the summer fitness program and having a challenging blast!
