Portions vs Servings

There will be no 1pm class on Friday Oct 3

At the last seminar I went to there were people from various different countries. On the first day of the seminar I went to lunch with a guy from Singapore and another from Australia. When the food came out the guy from Singapore was in shock over the size of the portions at the restaurant. He said that the portions in Singapore were much smaller. In the U.S. our serving sizes are way too big. Studies have shown that people who are overweight tend to eat much larger portions especially of the wrong foods. There have been some studies done on portion sizes and even when obese subjects were given smaller plates they created bigger portions by stacking their food higher on their plates.

Workout of the Day
