Here I am again, about 15 pounds lighter than when I started late last year.
OA works. However, what also works is OA with a combination of meal prepping and portion control.
Portion control is that butt-ugly phrase that nobody likes to use. All the diets keep on claiming eat as much as you want and lose weight!
It’s not true. What is true is that modern-day portions are mindbogglingly huge in comparison to what people ate in the past, and that’s a big part of why we’re all getting fatter.
I’ve had a big wake up call recently because I bought a meal prep book that provides easy keto recipes in controlled portions. The book is Easy Keto Meal Prep by Aaron Day. It not only makes meal prep easy, but it takes the guesswork out of the big question: how much should I be eating?
(I’m not getting a kickback for mentioning the book…it’s just an awesome resource that deserves to be shared.)
At first I was stunned when I saw the size of the portions. I thought, “That’ll NEVER keep me full!” And I was right. At first it didn’t. But now I’m adjusting to smaller portions and it’s enough. Adjustment took a couple of weeks, but I’m doing fine now. And my weight is dropping fast.
So that’s where I’m at. OA is providing the emotional and spiritual support I needed, while meal prepping is giving me a common sense path to eating well.
Life is good ☺️

Hi Lee! I just started with OA and it is really helping with mindset and how I look at food and my relationship to it. I lost 100 pounds with WW in 2020, but recent hard times had me reaching for unhealthy food again. I am finding that OA is making me more aware of WHY I do that. I couldn’t agree more with what you wrote about getting the emotional and spiritual support from OA. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
