More from "the list" - # 3 Why I love Ziplocs!

#3. Ziploc bags and Ziploc containers The reason these are crucial to my weight loss is PORTION CONTROL. I hear it all the time but it's true! I portion things like cereal, Malt O'Meal, baked chips, fruit, veggies, etc, etc. This not only helps with portion control, but time. If my cereal's already measured, I just grab a bag and go! My favorite Ziploc containers are the circle 2-cup ones with a screw-on lid. The great thing about these is the versatility. They can hold liquids without leakage and they have a 1 Cup measuring mark. I use this to measure my 1/2 cup skim milk to bring to work for my cereal.
