*Since the 1950's , the average size of a burger has increased by 223 %
*since the 1960's, the average weight of a woman has increased by 24.5%
*Since the 1950's, the average size of a fountain soda has increased by 500%
*Since the 1960's, the average weight of a man has increased by 28 pounds
*Since the early 1900's, the average size of a chocolate bar has increased by 1,233%
Check your serving sizes! Portion sizes have been growing and so have we.
*The average restaurant meal today is more than 4 times larger than in the 1950's.
*Adults, on the average are 26 pounds heavier.
If we want to eat healthy, order the smaller meals on the menu and split it with a friend or eat half and take the rest home for another meal. When my son-in-law was working in Japan it was easier for him to keep his blood sugars level as they package their food according to the portion sizes. I haven't been to Japan, but I can say I have seen a lot of Japanese people and on average they are not overweight.
Eating the correct portion sizes are important to help you maintain your weight and your health. READ THE LABELS on every container and then only eat the portion size. You will be amazed!
Health is Happiness!
