Ree Drummond believes one of the secrets to her 2021 weight loss journey was weighing her food. “Measuring food in grams is so much more effective than just measuring cups, and it was an eye-opener for me,” she explains. Measuring by weight is much more accurate, and Etekcity measures up to 11 pounds of food to the nearest gram with the push of a button. Talk about accuracy!
