Shrink Your Plate to Lose Weight


Dinner plates have gotten bigger, too, along with portion sizes. While many people have been taught to "clean their plate," this may mean that 'they're overeating.Downsizing portions to healthier sizes allows the body to become accustomed to the correct portion size. Most meals at fast food joints and restaurants are super-sized in terms of portions and calories.Eat from a smaller plate, like a salad plate, for proper portion sizes. Learn the right portion size and serve this amount, not going back for seconds or serving on family-style platters. Keep leftovers in single-serving portion containers.
