Fat In 2008? It isn’t Your Fault

How about that?

Let’s say you’re a little overweight. Maybe you’re more than a little overweight.

Good news…it isn’t you fault.

Seriously. I’ve been thinking about this a bunch over the past week or so. What do people do more today than ever? Other than sit on their rear end.

Eat out.

People are always eating on the go.

We also know from studies done decades ago (some before I was even born!), that people don’t do a very good job of estimating the caloric value of foods. Let’s be honest. People are TERRIBLE at looking at a food, saying “Yeah that’s about 257 calories.”, and being accurate. So next time you look at that heaping spoon full of peanut butter and say “That’s about 2 tablespoon.”

STOP before suck down what is really ¼ cup.

Let’s recap so far.

1. People eat away from their homes more than ever.

2. People are terrible at estimating the caloric value of foods.

How does that make you being overweight not your fault?

….you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out :)
