How many meals in your daily and weekly eating routine get served by someone else?
When you go to a restaurant you are clearly being served by someone else.When you got to dinner parties you most likely aren’t serving yourself.
In some cases you might not even be the person who serves the food in your own house.
This is a big mistake if you’re goal is weight loss.
Serving your own food is the only way to control how much you’re eating and acheive your weight loss goals. Letting someone else serve you food is just like leaving the look and shape of your body completely in the hands of someone else.
Scientific studies by researchers like Brain Wansink have shown that the amount of food we are served along with the plate or container it is served in will have a big effect on the amount of food we end up eating.
You simply cannot leave it up to someone else to serve you you’re food if you want to really lose weight. After all, how does anyone else know how much food to serve you in order for you to lose weight.
The answer is: they don’t! And as long as you’re not serving yourself, you have almost no shot at real weight loss success. Most restaurants and people will serve similar portions and mixes of food to everyone.
BIG MISTAKE.
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all portion size of food. You and I both have a very specific amount of food that we need to either maintain our current body weight or lost weight.
The amount of food you need to acheive either of these goals is specific to you and your current body. The only way you and I could eat the same amount of food and get the same results is if we both have the same goals, the same activity level and the same amount of lean body mass.
But this is rare.
In most cases you will have a different sized body and different fitness or weight loss goals than almost everyone that you sit down to eat with on a daily basis. Therefore you need to find a way to eat that matches your goals and not anyone elses.
If the way you are currently eating has got you to the point that you now want to lose weight, then continuing to eat this way won’t help.
You’ve got to make a change.
