 How Food Portion Sizes Affect Calorie IntakeThe more hungry we are, the more we eat, right? Not necessarily. The amount of food you put on your plate can determine how much you eat and how soon you feel full. If you eat a large serving-size, you may feel no fuller than if you eat a smaller amount of food. 

 

Best weight loss foods

No food alone could ever cause us to lose weight, there is no such thing as the best single weight loss food. We all understand that weight loss is the result of the energy consumed from all various foods within the diet, and that a diet’s total energy must be lower than the energy used by the body.   Some sites peddle the idea that certain foods are the best for weight loss because when these “special foods” are eaten they result in negative calories however, there is no hard scientific proof to support this theory.
