I read the same thing. Very interesting stuff in that article!!
I think all of us here either have realized or are now realizing how portion size can dictate waist size. :wink: After all, just about every diet plan, from Weight Watchers to Atkins to low-fat/high-carb diets emphasize portion size. These diets also all recommend at least *some* sort of exercise (including walking) and lots of cold water. While the theory behind Weight Watchers, Atkins and low-fat/high-carb diets is very different, it is interesting that they all have those similarities. Super-sizing is a great idea. For 30 cents more one can get what appears to be tons more food and drink! Of course, do we really need those 15 extra high-fat fries or extra 6 oz. of high-calorie soda? As part of my diet plan, fast food places are off-limits. :wink:
Good call DoctorU2. I have to admit to enjoying salads from Wendy's. The other stuff, I'll pass on though.. How anyone can eat a [b:dc87976832]"Super-Size Meal"[/b:dc87976832] is amazing. It is the size of 2 or 3 normal meals, only deficent on nutritional values but chock full of calories, fat and other bad stuff.
