I know that “Eating To Lose Weight” sounds like an oxy moron statement. It’s true…we do need to eat to lose weight. The key is eating healthy along with portion control. I just finished eating a bowl of Curves cereal. It was a sample box I got in the mail. It’s actually similar to bran flakes.
I love the fact it was one serving.
I know many people think they can’t lose weight if they eat breakfast. I think it is because they are not able to figure out exactly how to make a single portion. Thus, when they think they are eating a 200 calories meal, in actuality is 400 calories.
I bought a double unit Zevro dispenser. I have one side filled with oatmeal and the other with cereal. All you have to do is turn the handle once and you get a one ounce serving. Using this dispenser is cheaper in the long run than buying the single packets of cereal. There are always a couple in the variety pack I don’t like so buying that is a real waste of money for me.
I bought my dual Zevro dispenser on Ebay for $17.00 plus postage. I checked Ebay today and there are several single and double units for sale at a reasonable price. This dual unit sells for $169.00 on the Zevro website. I also checked on Amazon.com and they have Zevro dispensers available at prices starting as low as $16.95 for a single unit.
Zevro is a product that helping me on my weight loss journey. Anyone else using this product? How do you like it?

Nifty looking gadget. However, what’s wrong with just plain old measuring cups? I have three sets, they work for measuring portions of all kinds of stuff, from dried fruits, nuts, cereal, grains, etc…
At any rate, breakfast is very important for me, or I will eat too much later. Congrats on finding a way to portion control that you like!
Hi Cynthia,
I like things that are fun. Guess I’m just a gadget girl. I’ve got lots of those things around the house. Things I just HAD to have that are sitting collecting dust or stored in the attic or closet. At least this is one I use.
Great gadget idea… I like to mix it up (sorry for the pun) when I am eating healthy (6 days a week) so I don’t get bored.
Using a gadget or two in my meal prep helps distract me from what I really want to eat.
