Ballooning Calories and Waists
There were times when the weight of an average muffin was 1.5 ounces and had (merely!) 210 calories. Sizes and portions have drastically ballooned in the recent years and so have waists. On average, a muffin you purchase today most likely expanded to a 4-ouncer which will add to your daily intake around 500 calories. The same thing happened to bagels, burgers, salads, side dishes, steaks and every other kind of food-portion size. A “healthy salad” you order in a restaurant can easily have hundreds of calories that you never intended to bring into your digestive system that day and of course never suspected they were even there. Some people invented an easy way to control the portions of the meals. They suggest to eat from a 9-inch plate and “divide it” into quarters. Then they load one quarter with whole grains, the second with veggies, the third with fruits and the fourth with lean meats, poultry or fish. Smaller portion in combination with more plant-based foods should significantly lower one’s calorie-intake. Does this work? I don’t know but to me it seems a lot easier to test it out than a lot of others, heavily advertised and many times pricey diets out there. However, there’s one thing I am completely sure about. Even with the smaller plate and consequently smaller portions of food consumed, it still matters the most - what kind of foods you put on your plate and enjoy afterwards. Unless they are right for your genotype/blood type/nutritional type, healthy, whenever possible locally and organic way grown foods, the size of the plate alone won’t make that much of a difference.
