I have said it before & I will say it again, a key to weight loss is PORTION CONTROL!!!! You really must pay attention to what you are putting in your mouth. A food diary or logging your food or using an online tool to log your food has been proven by experts & studies to lead to weight loss & those that keep to it lose more weight & keep more weight off!
I saw this great article on Diet Blog about portion control & how it has changed over the past 20 years. Unless you have been living under a rock or are a young person, you know this .. portions at restaurants are HUGE & we can even super size .. like we need too!!!!!!! Above, the picture shows coffee over the past 20 years. Read this snippet from the article & pay attention to the increase in calories!! And we all know that some of these Starbucks type drinks have even more calories than the one outlined below.
"Over 20 years ago before the concept of the coffee house, a takeaway coffee would generally come in a 7oz/200ml Styrofoam cup, so with some sugar and cream it averaged around 85 Calories. Now a consumer can be enticed with a 16oz/470ml version made mostly with milk which can top 480 Calories depending on the drink ordered."
Read the rest of the article to see other comparisons & then start looking closer at what you eat & pay attention to portions. You will see the difference!!!!
