Healthy Weight Loss Q & Aseating. A fairly small error in judgment can be the difference between
weight loss and weight gain. For example, let’s say you consume a
salad five days each week, and you think you are using one table-
spoon of oil and vinegar dressing on the salad when in fact you are
using two tablespoons. Over the course of one year, this difference
of one tablespoon will add up to 31,200 calories or nine pounds of
weight!
The Subtle Nature of Overeating
Most individuals do not overeat by consuming vast amounts of food
that look ridiculous to the naked eye. They overeat by making fairly
small errors in judgment about portion size. A 20-calorie mistake
each day can result in a weight gain of approximately one pound
every six months, and a 20-calorie mistake is exceptionally easy to
make. For example, since a single cashew nut contains about 10
calories, a person who ate 12 cashew nuts each day and believed that
he or she only at 10 nuts would be a person 20 calories off, and one
pound heavier every six months.
Overeating Is Partly Natural
Eating too much of a tasty food is not only common but also natu-
ral. It’s natural to want more when a food is delicious. If you judge
strictly by the response of your taste buds, you’ve got a good chance
of overeating. That’s why I always focus on the issue of nutrient-
richness when I recommend the World’s Healthiest Foods as the
mainstay of your weight loss plan. In addition to delicious taste, I
know that an optimal supply of nutrients is critical for avoidance of
overeating. No foods can provide you with a greater variety of nutrients
or a greater quantity of nutrients than the World’s Healthiest Foods.
