Current Events > How to be skinny like Europeans?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Everything is so tiny and tight over there, why are they so skinny. They've got pizza and burgers too don't they. It just makes no sense!

when i went to america, appetisers are the size of a main course meal

food portions are way too big in the US

- portion control
- meals are leisurely and a place to talk for hours, not just eat and stuff your face
- less processed junk - even hearty meals are legit food
- sparkling water the norm over calorie ridden soda
- walk around and use public transport all day, not get in a car immediately after exiting the place youre visiting

stop snacking

that's pretty much it

if you're eating your 2-3 meals a day and nothing in between them you'll lose a lot of weight. those extra 500 calories of snacks add up to a lb a week

1 portion here is basically 2 to 3 meals in every other country lol

This is true but its possible to not eat all of it lol. If I buy a meal at a restaurant it usually lasts me at least a couple of days.

That said, I think Im mainly skinny because Im young and still have solid metabolism, not because Im good at controlling myself.

European pizza is smaller, slender and got less toppings.
Hamburgers? Half in size!

i mean if i lived there then i would be taking home so much food from the restaurants

my hotel didn't have a fridge so i couldn't store what i didn't finish. i remember getting calamari as a starter and then a bbq meat tray as a main and fml i couldn't move after that

But... but you're paying more for less! If you were paying less for less than it would be alright, but not if you're paying the same price for a burger only to get a smaller burger!
