Back to topic:

I just read an article about the problem with serving sizes,
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/02/the-problem-with-serving-sizes link to
this is not only about more calories but salt and other additives too.

When i do (steam) cooking a pound of broccoli for example
i don´t add two grams of salt or other conserving additives.

When i buy chips i usually eat half of the bag in one session 
I did not figure out my way to change this habit, it tastes so good...

Half a bag of corn chips has more calories than a pound of broccoli.

1 pound of broccoli:     200 calories
5 oz (140 grams) chips:  700 calories


Surprise, surprise:

Broccoli is largely carbohydrates. Chips are largely fat (lipids). Lipids have more energy, for their mass, than carbohydrates. More energy that is being unused and left to grow into body fat...

About chips: I love chips so much. But I usually restrain myself because I only get to eat them once in a while. So if you think about not getting to eat chips for another month, you might spread the chips out over several days, giving your body more time to absorb all the possible nasty stuff in the chips.

Interesting to read the article´s criticism section and
i wonder why there is no link to the paleo diet.

That's a great idea. My game ETNT Challenge is obesity-related and I suggest that you remix it.

So why not design a game where every time someone chooses the "wrong" food - they get "sickness points." After so many points, they go in the hospital and have surgery. If they continue accumulating points, they eventually die.

Just like in real life - even if you're severely overweight, changing your habits can start giving you your life back.

Thanks for your reply TSKendrick! New points in your post!
There is already a similar game in the gallery, ETNT.
I´d like to see a remix of, see my first post here!

Changing habits is easier said than done,
even facing severe consequences many of us keep on doing their habits...
Some kinds of nutrition might be addictive, making change more difficult.
Any golden rule for change?
