Smaller plates make full more quickly - pure mind thing!

How often did you hear about the great invention of "eat half as much" in the last years? And how often did you ask yourself how you are supposed to get full from that?

To always eat half as much is not really a permanent solution for most of us. But there is a small trick to eat less and to be still not hungry.


Simply always use small breakfast plates at home or buffets and combine it with the largest cup/glas you can find.

Since your stomach mostly reacts on visual influences and usually only stops bothering you when the plate is filled completely. And since you now use a breakfast plate instead of a big dinner plate you can fill your plate as normal (obviously not so full that food is falling of the side).
Your brain will send a signal to your stomach: "Plate full!" and your stomach will be happy. If you now combine this trick with a big glass of water or tea (low calories and no sugar) then it will fill your stomach to a level that it won't get upset.
Of course, every meal should be balanced and should contain some kind of vegetable or fruit.

With this small trick you can adapt your body to smaller portions without a hungry feeling and you save a lot of calories.

By the way: Usually it is always possible to get smaller portions in restaurants! Just ask your server!
