Ok, so this is a technique that has worked for me…… Its another tool in your healthy eating
toolkit…
Here’s the concept…. A normal dinner plate is anywhere
between 10 and 12 inches, and humans tend to fill our plates, so if we use a
smaller plate, we eat less as it tricks the brain
I switched to an 8 inch side plate for lunch and dinner, and
a small dessert bowl for breakfast. This meant I couldn’t get so much on my
plate, (as long as I didn’t have seconds) so I ate less. I still had to be disciplined, and make
healthy choices!
Proviso…. There is no absolute scientific proof that this
works, the jury is split, but as this one does no harm to try, I’d suggest you
give it a go…..
