[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a thin family. It's a combination of genetics (metabolism), healthy eating habits and the food itself.

There's nothing special about what we eat but we have a lot of vegetables and salads and more veggie nights than not. We don't have pasta often, but will have a baguette along with a salad, steamed vegs and roast chicken and that is a typical dinner. Fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. Simple sandwiches for lunch with carrot sticks and hummus. Once a month I will bake a cake or pie and that will last several days as our dessert after dinner. We rarely have takeaways but we do enjoy our weekend croissants that  I pick up at a local bakery. Never get pizza takeaways but will occasionally pop a frozen pizza into the oven (frozen pizzas are a) smaller portions and b) not as overloaded with cheese and fat). We eat out as a family for dinner every three weeks or so and will usually go for a Chinese or Thai. We do eat out (very well) when we travel overseas.

As you can infer, the food we eat isn't special. It's all about portion control and having a range of nutritious food with the occasional splurges. We rarely snack and I never keep snacks in the house other than a bag of pretzels and we'll reach for an apple if hungry between meals. I've noticed the kids are the same and I've noticed that like their parents, they are quickly full without eating much food, so I do think there's a genetic makeup in our bodies that automatically triggers these reactions and that keeps us slender and prevents us from eating when we're not hungry, which is a big problem for too many people.

It also helps that we are also active. We exercise, play sports (I play tennis and swim laps) and enjoy long walks.

Sorry, but this sounds incredibly rigid and boring, especially for the kids.[/quote]
