Yum Yum Dishes- portion control made easy!



As most of you know, I recently had my second child. As much as I love both my children, pregnancy was tough on my body and finding time to workout can be even tougher! If I have a spare moment, I want to get something done- which typically is laundry, dishes, dinner, errands, bathing.... working out is usually on the backburner. My biggest weight problem is portion control. I don't know about anywhere else, but growing up in Louisiana and now here in Texas, we love food and lots of it! If there was only a way to control my portions.....


Yum Yum Dishes was created by a mother in the same boat. After her second child, Tracy realized that she had a snacking problem. She would grab a bag of chips, jump on the couch and grub. I know we have all been there before, so no shame. However, Tracy was determined to do something about it. She only snacked out of a small bowl and as long as that bowl was not re-filled, she got her snack fix and never felt guilty. Yum Yum Dishes was born!



What are Yum Yum Dishes? They are super cute, practical 4 oz. ( about 3/4 cup) bowls that take the guess work out of portion control!  These are hand painted and come in a set of 4- blue, yellow, green and red. Inside they read " Yum Yum time is OVER" reminding you that you have had your snack, now stop already! I love that!


If you are a fan of The Biggest Loser, then you are probably familiar with Lisa Mosley, who has lost 100 pounds! Lisa was another mother that had problems with portion control and turned to Yum Yum Dishes. She has lost so much more weight at home with so much help, and I think we can all agree that portion control is a serious issue with most of us! These dishes are such a simple and carefree way to keep track of what we are eating! For even more encouragement, you can sign up for the Tip of the Week with Lisa Mosley. You will get an e-mail every Monday as well as updates like promotions and more!



Yum Yum Dishes also has tons of great snack ideas on their site, such as "chocolate yum yum pie" and "have yum yum will travel" sound interesting? Check them out... you will totally thank me later! I don't know about you, but I have never been successful at eliminating all things such as dessert, sweets, etc. I have to have these, I will break without a reward! ha! Using these portions dishes, you can have your snack, portioned correctly, and won't feel guilty later on!


The price? Yum Yum Dishes are sold in a 4 pack for $22. (Much cheaper than a trainer, I may add...) However, for you wonderful readers, Yum Yum Dishes have created a discount code! Until July 9th, use code FRUGAL for a $5 discount on all orders! That comes down to $17 a 4 pack, or $4.25 each!




-My Thoughts-

Seriously, one of the best things for snackers!

Did I mention these are super cute?? They are! Hand-painted, colorful and a great reminder on the inside-
"Yum Yum time is OVER!"

I was not paid for this review, and received no compensation. However, I did receive the above mentioned at no cost to me. This did not change my opinions. I am just outspoken, and love to tell my honest opinions. So there!
