“I believe all foods can fit into a healthy diet. However, while you can enjoy larger portions of certain foods (fruits and vegetables), you should pay attention to how big your portions are for others foods (breads, baked goods, red meat, candy and chips),” says Dr. Lisa Young.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average hamburger portion size in 1955 was 3.9 ounces and the average man weighed 166.3 pounds. By 2006, both had increased to 12 ounces and 194.7 pounds, respectively..

“Dr. Young’s emphasis is less on what you eat and more on how much you eat of any food, including those considered healthful”, writes Jane E. Brody. in the New York Times. She lost 40 pounds in two years following Dr. Young’s approach, and has kept the weight off ever since without dieting or deprivation.

If you’re interested in becoming more mindful about portion control, Dr. Young suggests to start by paying attention to food label serving sizes along with the number of servings per container. She also suggests getting a measuring cup and food scale and from time to time weighing your typical portion to see how many servings are really on your plate.
