It is true: too much of a good thing is still too much!
Portion Control
The food industry has made it possible for us to buy more food for less money, so they have conditioned us to think more is better. This is their way of selling more food -- that is why they are in business. But that is not a healthy thing to do. So it is wise to learn what a good portion is and weigh or measure what we eat.
It is critical that we teach our kids what a healthy portion is. They are subjected to the "super-size" mentality from many sources so it is up to us to show them how to eat properly, not only in the types of foods to chose, but also in the correct amounts to use.
Portion Control
Question: Is it possible to eat meals consisting entirely of healthy foods, such as carrots, fish, apples and whole wheat bread, and continue to gain weight?
Answer: Yes, because you can still eat too much, even if everything is good for you.
