Pre-takeoff checklist
I think most Americans don’t realize how overweight we’ve become, because most people are overweight even if they don’t realize it. In our society, portion sizes are generally too large. I’m 4 weeks into a diet created by a nutritionist so that I can lose 15 pounds. (I’m 5’9”...started at 175...down to 166...going for 160) it wasn’t until I really paid attention to EVERY calorie I consumed did I realize that my caloric intake was much more than I would have imagined. I’m retraining myself about what my “normal portions” should actually be. It has required discipline and good meal pre-planning. It’s like a magical gross weight increase for my plane!
