Five Factors

Earlier today I was browsing some blogs and found a link to The World's Healthiest Diets. While it is about the foods the healthy populations eat, it's also about the difference between their habits and ours.
The five factors are:
1. Caloric Overload
2. Portion Distortion
3. On-the-go Eating
4. Animal product excess
5. Lazy Lifestyle
This reminded me of an article I read in Prevention magazine about 15 years ago. It was called "How in the World to Stay Slim" and examined the eating and exercise habits of people in China, Japan, Great Britain, Sweden, France, Burma ( Myanmar), Italy and the Netherlands.
Some of the things they did differently were eating smaller portions (or smaller meals), moving more, not snacking, not routinely eating dessert, eating less meat and making starches/grains the center of their meals.
