8. Watch your portion size
How many servings do you think are on your plate? If you say one, you’d probably be wrong. Because one large plate doesn’t equal one serving, that’s for sure. Truth is, most Americans eat two (sometimes even three) servings per sitting, and this happens due to the size of our plates.
That’s why you should be sizing down your plates when you’re trying to lose weight. Numerous studies have demonstrated that eating on small plates supports your weight loss process significantly. So, if you’ve been trying for a while to shed some pounds and nothing worked, maybe it’s time to measure your plates.
