Plate Size/Color

11/2/2014

 
Did you know that you could cut your calorie intake by 50% by just reducing your plate size from a 12-inch plate to an 8.5-inch plate?

Did you know that you can trick your mind into eating less by simply using a smaller dinner plate?

Did you know that by changing your plate size, you could save yourself from overeating by 1000 calories?

It's been said that the size of your dinner plate can trick you into actually eating more than the recommended portion size. We are visual eaters ... therefore, we tend to dish out our portions in relation to the size of our plate/bowl.

The right plates can help you cut portions painlessly. Research shows that you pile more food on large dishes, so downsize from dinner plates to salad plates.



A study from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, showed that serving white food on white plates prompted people to help themselves to 30% more. To avoid these results at home, invest in a few brightly colored dishes.
