I can't seem to eat a small salad. For some reason the vegetable portion is always a serving for three (never the protein) and the dressing is therefore too much as well and I always eat pretty much the whole thing. Usually I'm stuffed like a turkey and even sick at times. I don't know why I eat such a big salad and can't measure differently. I put it on a normal plate, but it becomes a mountain. How embarrassing to share this.... HELP PLEASE.

Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things.

put your salad on a normal plate, just like you always do. on top of your plate, put a big coffee mug. small cereal bowl. measuring cup, etc., upside down, covering the salad. any salad that doesn't fit inside -- take it off the plate.
as far as protein, when you're measuring it out, it should be about the size of your fist, so set it out on a plate and hold your fist up to it, adjust accordingly.
Dressing? Here's my husband's tip. He put's it in a small bowl/ramekin and dips eatch bite in, giving himself just as much as he wants on each bite.
good luck! and hey -- at least you're eating too much salad and not too many burgers :)
