In the early ’70s ( more than 20 years ago... ) , 6.5 ouncers were popular. Today it’s 20 ounces, or more (Super Big Gulp = 44 oz = 700 calories!)
A blog of helpful tips and techniques for surviving as a Clean Eater in a non Clean Eating world. I'm working towards a clean diet, and want to share what I've learned along the way. I also occasionally write about gun and 2nd Amendment issues, so indulge me. Welcome to my blog!

More Portion Distortion - 20 Years Ago Versus Now
More visual portion distortion - the difference between the portion that were common only 20 years ago and what we typically get today is shocking. A fundamental guiding hand in Clean Eating is portion control - recognizing how much is a healthy portion of food and sticking with it. A serving of rice is about the size of 2 golf balls put together. It isn't Mt Fuji on your plate. While we don't count calories - you can see with today's out of control "More is better" portion sizes that you really need to be careful. And while a gigantic slice of pizza isn't what a Clean Eater would eat....you get the idea.
