Use a Smaller Plate!

Last week I told you about a guy who automatically cut his portion size in half when he was eating out.

This week's tip is to start putting your food on a smaller plate! This was actually something I had jotted down while coming up with ideas to post on here several weeks ago, but noticed that a member of the group had posted on facebook that she was already doing it!

So, try putting away the regular size dinner plates and start putting your food on a child size plate and don't go back for seconds.....or thirds!


Oh, and me putting down all my calories in my food journal has now prompted my hubby to start doing the same thing! He wants to be more aware of what he's consuming in a day! And, I didn't even ask him to try it! And, all the fruits and veggies I've been eating, my 3 girls have been choosing to eat those versus other stuff, on their own accord! See what making healthy life choices has the affect on the people around you?!
