- User smaller plates (and cutlery)
- Use a blue plate
So, lets take the plates first.
Those of us cutting back and wanting to stick to a healthy eating plan should use smaller plates.
For example changing from a 12" to a 10"plate. The same amount of food on a smaller plate looks a lot more than on a larger one so your brain thinks you are eating more. Also if you are used to 'piling your big plate high' you won't be able to with a smaller plate.
If you want to take this a step further you could you smaller cutlery and if you are trying to cut back on sugary drink use a smaller blue glass as well.
Secondly the colour of your plate can have a huge effect on your appetite. Research shows that the higher the contrast between your food and the plate the less you will eat.
Tip number 1
Use smaller blue plates
As a side note refrain from eating out of a bag as you cannot see how much you are eating and therefore may eat more.
