I wish I could just control myself when I have fast food :tongue: ..thats my only problem so I tend to just stay away from it. But, that article above claims that you could actually lose if you controlled your portions..pretty interesting.

Have an amazing day!

    That is an interesting article.

    I think controlling portions with whatever foods you choose to eat is a huge part of losing weight. It isn't so much the food we eat but the portions of them! They are out of control and people end up eating 3 times the food they need.

    I eat fast food from time to time, I just make wiser choices! ;) If I want a burger, I get the small, jr hamburger. And at Taco Bell, I just leave the sauce and cheese off things (fresco menu)...good stuff! :)

    yup I agree portions and lighter choices are key when eating out at those places!

    It's hard to watch portions when they are pushing "Super, King, Biggie" etc size on you. You go there, your starving already and decided you need the larger size!!

    McDonalds doesn't have it on the menu anymore, but they have what they call an All American Meal, it's either a small hamburger/cheeseburger ,small fry and small coke. It doesn't seem like alot of food, but it's actually quite satisfying not to mention only a quarter size of a regular meal.

    It's hard to believe that at one time that was the only size available. Kind of puts into perpective just how large our portions have gotten.
