I rarely eat out any more specifically because of the portion sizes. I can't always put leftovers in a fridge and I hate paying for food I'm going to be throwing away.
Recently I've been doing my food shopping at Whole Foods. I like to go in the mornings so I can enjoy breakfast there in their cafe. They have a delish breakfast bar that includes scrambled egg whites, turkey or chicken sausages, grilled red peppers and other healthy alternatives. The best part is.. you only pay for what you eat! It's $6.99 a pound, but my typical breakfast only comes out to $3-4.
Now, if only more restaurants had such offerings!
Yeah, I saw that on the news. That's even worse than the Skookum Chief Burger of North Vancouver... a towering burger topped with fried eggs, bacon, a sliced hot dog and gobs of cheese.Quote:

On a separate, but related note - it seems (from the media at least) that surgery - gastric bypass- is getting be more popular for drastic weight loss. When you think about it what the surgery is pretty much about, is enforced portion control. They make the person's stomach so small that they can't eat too much at once. Yup Kitsune, if you regularly over eat you can stretch out your stomach so that you need more food to feel full, but if you have the will power to eat less you can shrink it back down to a point as well - I do not know how far you can take this before its too stretched to go back -I would bet its like skin and can only take so much stretching before it won't go back.
