As we can see many young people getting into morning workouts, becoming all of a sudden health conscious...isn't it? All these are because of their weight problems isn't it? is this excess weight gain is because they are all eating more or is it because of the fact that they are not eating properly according to their lifestyle...what is it?

Off course we are all eating way too much more then we should. We should eat proportional to the amount of energy we spend. These days we hardly spend any calories, we sit in Ariconditioned offices, we hop into an airconditioned car (even to the corner of the street), we sit in front of the comp or TV all day long where is the calorie spend?
Our calorie spend is decreasing every day but our calorie intake is on the rise! We gulp soft drinks, we eat junk fried foods, we eat far too many sweets and chats etc.
We should increase our awarness on lifestyle related illnesses.

Yes, we are eating more these day's and some people say that it is because of the weather that makes us eat more and more.But, i don't agree with that here.What you are saying is also right, but things are changinga bit now as more youngsters are concerned about their fitness and we can see them going for morning jog, workouts etc.
Anyway's, thanks for responding

I think it is both. Serving sizes compared to what the experts suggest are way different. Meat for instance should fit in the palm of your hand. Have you went out an bought a steak lately? They're huge in comparison. Then I think way too much sugar is in our foods now a days.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I know here in the States portion control has gone insane! I personally don't overeat (except rarely) so when I go out to restaurants I bring home more than half of the food I am served as leftovers! Then there's the fast food places who think bigger is always better! I get a small soda from one of those places and it lasts me all day! I know too many people that have been taught to finish all the food on their plate though, so they wind up eating (and drinking) at least three times what they should. And of course, these ridiculous portion sizes have certainly carried over into the home. Often when friends invite me over for dinner, my plate looks almost empty compared to the amount of food everyone else is eating! Fortunately, they know that I am a relatively "light" eater though, and aren't offended.

The way yonger generation getting too much health conscious these day's and seeing then go for workouts, morning walk, jogging etc, it makes on really feel whether this generation people are really over eating or is their diet is not at all right...what is it? one think what you said is true as more ans more fast food outlets are growing in number and also number of people getting attracted to that is more these day's and maybe you are an exception in this case and it is really good for you, isn't it?

Hm....you mean to say that people are eating more just in this winter season ....is it? ha....ha...i don't believe in this as you can also see many youngsters are talking more of fitness, diet and all we tend to feel that youngsters are more of health conscious and this is mainly because of the fact that eating habits of the people for sure...don't you think so?
