We are used to receiving super-size portions when we go out to eat, which is a large factor in the obesity of Americans. Over the years serving sizes have become bigger and bigger. Think of the size of a bagel. Our grandparents ate a three-inch bagel for a total of 150 calories. Today, most bagels average four to five inches across and contain a whopping 300 to 400 calories. A “normal” serving size of a bagel should be the size of a hockey puck. Anything more than a hockey puck size would be equivalent to 2 servings. It is easy for the servings sizes to quickly add up depending how you portion out your food. Clearly each extra serving is additional calories and added inches to your waistline.
First let us understand the difference between a portion and a serving.
- A portion is the amount that you actually put on your plate.
- Whereas a serving the amount of food defined by measurements such as cups or tablespoons.
If you eat all your “normal” portion sizes and servings you should begin to lose weight. Boosting your metabolism will help speed up the process. Try MetaboSpeed natural supplement for boosting metabolism and start losing weight today.
