Weight Gain Caused by Portion SizesThere are a lot of foods that are light in calories such as most vegetables, particularly when enjoyed raw without any butter, cheeses or cream added. Not the same can be said for all foods. Take pasta....
Just one extra helping of pasta will cost you about 200 calories. And that's for a tiny cup. Add sauce and meat and we've got even more calories to contend with. Make that chicken Alfredo and we're already out of the ball park.
If we could think of our bodies as a car that runs on fuel we might think twice before overfilling our tanks. The smell of the food, the way it looks, the way it tastes - sometimes it is very difficult to resist those second helpings, even when we know that they'll end up as pounds - unwanted pounds at that.
In SummaryFill up on salads and broth-based soups at meal time to help curb appetite. A glass of water before meal times may also be of help.
Resisting those second helpings while keeping our first helping to normal portion sizes will help keep our belts buckling on the same notch. Bottom line: Avoid larger portions and avoid weight gain.
Please meet with your personal physician to determine and/or verify the cause of weight gain. With so many solutions available these days, weight gain is getting much easier to accomplish.
