About the serving thing: yes, I explicitly mentioned that in my post.
My main beef with diets are ones that tell you to eat such and such amount of calories or servings regardless of what your body tells you. If your body tells you it's hungry, feed it. If it tells you you're full, stop. A lot of fat people are totally out of touch with their hungry and full signals, and I fully support slowing down while you eat and paying attention to your full signal, and (the one thing many people never figure out) paying attention to how foods make your body feel (do you feel sluggish when you eat something? Maybe you should cut back on it. Does it make you feel good and alive? Keep eating it!).
