"Supersize it," the slogan from a fast-food restaurant chain, seems to sum it up. But more isn't always better - particularly when it comes to weight loss. Sometimes leaving a little food on your plate is worth much more than the dollar it might cost. Watching your total food intake, not just limiting unhealthy foods, is the key to good health and permanent weight loss. Healthy foods are not without any restrictions.
