Portion Size Me is a book that came out earlier this year and was
written by Marshall Reid, a 12 year old and his mom Alexandra. The book
captures the journey and lifestyle of the Reids. The family
transformed their lives by watching food portions and by modifying
their daily food choices.
As a portion size advocate and a nutritionist recommending small
lifestyle changes as a way to get healthy, this book gets thumbs up! It is very inspirational to help other overweight children and families make simple changes and help reverse the trend to curb childhood obesity.
Marshall and his family have learned to make small changes to diet and
to swap unhealthy foods for healthier ones.
As I have been saying for years, getting—and staying–healthy does not
mean giving up all our favorite foods!

Congratulations Marshall! Well done.
