www.gdaguru.com today reports that dieters relying on healthy home-cooked meals wreck their efforts to slim by dishing up large portions and feeling obliged to finish everything on their plate, a survey has found. 20-01-2012
The study from Weight Watchers has revealed that the increasing trend for home-cooking, led by celebrity chefs, TV shows such as Come Dine With Me and the need to save money, can have unexpectedly fattening consequences.
The YouGov survey of more than 2,000 Britons reveals that 68 per cent of those questioned aim to dine at home more often.
But despite trying to avoid piling on the pounds, 95 per cent of those who cook at home will keep on eating – even if they are full – until their plate is empty.
The survey also found that although 57 per cent believed they dish up the recommended portion sizes, only 14 per cent of people actually did.
