Let us know what you think :)


Eat Less Without Feeling Hungry

Downsize your dishes. Studies have found that oversize dishes and utensils cause us to subconsciously wolf down more food. So, trade in your steering wheel-size plates for dainty dishes and watch the pounds drop. The study recommends you eat your largest meal of the day on a seven-inch plate.

Shake off the weight with the help of... a plate?

I am sure this would help many of us. Unless one decides to fill the small plate a second or third time.


If I was in the overweight range again, I would do this. I am good at my portioning now. I learned this from you


ladies. Thanks.

I agree that a smaller plate helps! But, you still have to put good , nutritious food on it ; )

It helps me especially at Thanksgiving - I eat less and am less likely to go for a second or third plate of food.

Takes practice and many of us cannot or will not do the portioning.

I've been eating off salad plates and I think it's helping.
On the other hand,
DD thinks I'm making her eat more
Since she doesn't have as much free space on the smaller plate,
