Face it, many if not most Americans are lazy overeaters, and it shows.

I point out one way they get to enjoy dining out without shoveling in a massive amount of calories and I get flamed.

Heck, you people have a bit of LA in your backyard with Baygo's tapas restaurant: good quality, nice presentation, small quantity.

Isn't this how we should all be eating?

What is the point in pigging out, anyway?

"Plastic surgery", you forgot purging, now that's healthy! I guess there are no fat people in LA and they eradicated heart disease years ago. And no, I'm not fat but I do enjoy eating.

You're so right. I had been a yo yo dieter all my life since I was about 13 years old. I went to the Dr for a DOT check up to renew my CDL license when I was 47 and they told me to see my endocrinologist I had type 2 diabetes.

I immediately changed the way I eat to smaller portions and much less carbs and sugar in the process lost 115 lbs and have kept it off since. You can have your "cheat days" every now and then but reducing portions, sugar and carbs and ANYONE can lose weight. You just really have to want to lose the weight not just say it.

Cutting sugar is hard but solves a lot of problems.
Here's the bottom line for anyone looking to lose weight.
In order to lose weight you need to have a caloric deficit. Period. You need to eat less calories than you burn. A daily 500 calorie deficit will cause you to lose ~2lbs a week. No matter what or how often you eat or what time of day you eat it.

Or move to LA where everyone is beautiful.

Forgot to mention after about 9 months my weight loss stalled then a began a very light exercise program to jump start my metabolism.

What once took great effort now takes less! When you started a light exercise routine you didn't jump start anything, you started burning more calories, putting yourself back in a deficit!

So many myths and so much BS out there.

Stay healthy!

I'll stop my rant...but it's good food for thought for anyone who is trying and having a hard time losing!

Very ironic we are talking about this in a thread for a restaurant that specializes in ice cream and fried food.

But they reduced the size of their portions to keep everyone healthy from over eating.

They just raised costs, quality remains meh, and those two things don’t add up to locals being enthused. I note nobody is raving about the place 😶

I guess you didn't get the sarcastic note.

This is your opinion and should be presented as such. Many medical conditions require a more informed and complex approach.

That's science, not my opinion.

500/day = 3,500/week = 1 pound.
The science (especially of losing fat vs. muscle) is, however, much more detailed--glycemic index of the food, timing, metabolism, etc. In fact, many people find they stay the same weight because their bodies go into conserve mode if they don't eat enough and often enough.

So, to lose weight safely and effectively, one should eat healthy(er) food split into five or six smaller portions while being mindful of the glycemic index (speed of digestion, sugars being the fastest, whole grains the slowest) of the foods.

THAT being said, if someone is very overweight (as, ahem, I am now), simply being mindful of eating and activity will result in weight loss.

You did, in fact say no matter what was eaten or what time of day. That's pretty unequivocal and authoritative in tone. I'm just pointing out that there are many more nuances than that if you truly understand it.

I won't comment further if you wish to bluster on.

Exactly right. Every time I've gone to 1,500 daily calories I lost right around 2lbs weekly. You can work out for hours and you'll get in shape but still have the weight.
Cutting calories is the only thing that works

Part of the conversation was an issue with the price and portions for that price served by Sawyer’s.

I cut out nearly all carbs, tried to stay at or below 20g per day, and lost 60 lbs pretty fast and have kept most of it off so far. Once in a while now I'll eat a baked potato or slice of pizza and it feels like I consumed a brick.
