Portion Control. It seems logical. It seems as though if we only had enough will power, we would look and feel the way we wanted all the time. Like all the rest of the dieting techniques, it's not fun to have to approach food in this way. Sometimes it can even make the addiction worse. Take something away from someone and they only want it more.
Think about why you want to control your portions in the first place. One, because not controlling portions has a side effect. An effect that is not beneficial. If nothing happened as a result of eating big portions then you wouldn't have this conflict of how much or how little is ok to eat, would you? Would you even make as big a distinction between big and small portions?
The second reason is because there is a belief that if you eat too much you will gain weight. Simple right? The belief itself is obvious, but WHY you believe that is true is not so obvious. Looking into why this side effect of gaining weight happens, whether you eat a lot or a little, helps complete the whole picture.
People gain weight from any size portion of food because of the processing of the food and because of imbalances and weakness of the body. Food does not get absorbed or digested properly because of both these reasons and they each keep making the other worse, so it's a vicious cycle.
The reason why some people have to eat so much to get full is because there are no nutrients in what they are eating, so they have to fill up on calories while never satisfying their cells. When you eat the proper food for your body, your metabolism gets balanced, your body gets cleaned out and you can digest properly. Once this happens extreme weight gain is not possibl.
FulL-fillment cannot be achieved through food.
Can you believe this cake is way healthier than the portion controlled substances above? It is. It's an all raw Chocolate Cake, with raw Vanilla Ice Cream and raw Peanut Butter Cup Chunks in the middle. You're more likely to even lose weight eating the cake.
