What's a normal portion size?
Advertisers spend a lot of money increasing portion sizes each year to make more money. We have been played!
It's all about bling,bling and ching,ching!
No wonder we are Supersized.
We don't like to waste our money, so we eat all the food they give us. We have to get a grip! Cleaning your plate is not always the best thing to do.
If you are eating out. Cut your portions in half.
Restaurants make meals to feed a large man.
It's as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Divide your plate before you start to eat. 2. Ask for a container or put it to the side. 3. Eat slowly and enjoy each bite.
Eating Fast Food, don't Supersize.
