Should I be concerned about diet & Exercise NOW?



Recommended Posts

Hi: I am having trouble with measuring the "1 cup". 3 oz of Protein takes up a lot of the cup or is it 3 oz of protein and one cup. One cup of lettuce leaf is vastly different to 1 cup of peas. Anyone have any idea how to measure????????

don't forget also that "one cup" can be considered as once cup of "chewed" food.....in which case it all ends up being the same. Imagine one cup of "chewed" lettuce (ewww!...) but it is a lot more that way than puting 2 lettuce leaves into a cup.

What I mean is that your pouch can hold approx 1 cup of "chewed" food....don't think of it so much as whole.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
