Now I have a point to make about the eating less. Other generations as far as I know never counted calories. They just ate their basic foods until they were full. I would argue that eating too much sugar encourages one to eat more!
It was once noted in a book I read that up until the age of five, a child's body understands that liquid intake=energy. (Imagine an infant that never felt full -- the horrors of a house with newborn child!) However, once you're beyond that age, you can consume all the liquid energy you want and never feel full, so you still eat solid foods. Now combine this with stopping at the 7-Eleven for a "Twenty-Gallon Truckers' Gulp" of soda and bad things start to happen.
