Portion size counts!
Foreign visitors are amazed at the amount of food served in American homes and eateries. Foods adopted from foreign countries like croissants and bagels have grown to double or triple their original size, and the native muffin has ballooned from a standard ounce-and-half to as much as eight ounces today. Read nutritional labels to make sure you’re only consuming one serving.
Fitness
It’s the meat AND the motion. To lose fat, you need to do more than exercise. With exercise alone, it’s going to be a very long, slow process. It takes about 3,500 calories to lose a pound. You’d have to walk about 44 miles to lose that one pound. So eat less too. Combining exercise with decreasing your caloric intake is going to get you results a lot quicker."
