Were eating more than we realize.

One reason people pack on the pounds is that theyre not watching their plate sizes, which are larger than ever. people tend to underestimate how much they are consuming and overestimate how much they are exercising. When you go out to eat, try halving your meal, and take the rest home for dinner the next night. Keep serving sizes of meat and fish to about the size of a deck of cards; your pasta portion should be about the size of a baseball.

Were sitting around so much.

The remote, email, the elevator - life is easier than ever. But the trade-off is that were also less active. To stay fit and healthy as well as off the weight, you need to perform some sort of physical activity walking, biking, dancing for 45 minutes four days a week.

We are overdosing on nofat and lowfat foods.
