Default Portion Size Control and Food Diaries: Yes, It Works!

I heard a radio ad for a fast food restaurant
that offered "bottomless fries." I think this is taking
the supersized portions that have become so commonplace
to a new extreme. When one considers that a "small" (2.4 oz.)
portion of French fries has 210 calories, one shudders
to think what can happen with the potential for unlimited
consumption. A 1,000 calorie portion of French fries?
Not far fetched, considering that the limited "supersized"
(6.2 oz) portion of French fries has 540 calories.

It seems so simple, but yet this is much of the problem with the
prevalence of overweight and obesity. Too much food. The food
manufacturers, having created supersized portions are now
marketing and selling 100 calorie portions of snack foods.

But we need not allow ourselves to be spoon fed, so to speak by
food manufacturers. We can limit portions on our own and
make great strides towards mastery, day-by-day of weight control.

This inspired me to start a blog, something I've been meaning
to do for some time. I finally started to lose weight and
keep it off 12 years ago when I kept a food diary. I was
as rigorous with it as I was with balancing a checkbook.
Having that accountability made a world of difference and
made me aware, daily, of portion sizes.

I found a great article on 10 tips to control portion sizes
and I have posted it on my new blog. I'm planning to
continue to add helpful resources as I find them:
