I remember the first time I went to a restaurant in China alone.  When I ordered the food and got it, I looked at it.  Is this enough food? I thought.  I was to eating a lot more food back then, and yes I was much fatter too.

One thing I have noticed about my country is whenever I am in a restaurant, I get a lot of food.  What I mean is, I don’t order a lot of food, but the dish that I order is very big.  This is portion size.  Americans love big portions, they are suckers for it.  At McDonalds, they ask us if we want to “super-size” our meal, often times we say yes (cause, you know, more food for less money, that’s a good deal!)

The portion sizes in China seem much smaller.  Again, for example McDonalds, the same meal I order here is smaller than in America.  This is a good thing, because this actually causes me to lose weight/not overeat.  The portions for gaifan and other dishes is perfect as well.  I truly appreciate this aspect of China that I have seen, and I wish that my countrymen would learn to eat smaller portion sizes if they order for themselves.

P.S. – This was the way I lost weight!
