Alas - No where in your list of otherwise helpful points do you mention the
unfortunate fact that restaurant serving sizes are often much too large.
Sure, you may have picked all the healthiest menu selections from the
healthiest restaurants, but the probability is that you'll get needlessly
large portions. Factor in a vacationer's sometimes modest attempts at
fiscal frugality ("Gee, I paid for all this food, and if I don't eat it I'm
wasting money") and the ironic twist that you don't get proper portions
until you eat at expensive restaurants and I think one has a recipe for
weight gain. |
