Tricks of the Plate

Downsize Your Dinner Plate
Take the Small Plate Challenge at SmallPlateMovement.org and switch from 12” plates to 10” plates for one month. Studies show your portions will appear heartier—and you’ll dish out 22 percent fewer calories. Other ways to make healthy portions look super-generous:

• Drink out of tall, skinny glasses—not short, squat ones
• Break down that jumbo box or bag into one-serving Ziplocs or Tupperware
• Enjoy that scoop of ice cream with the smallest spoon you can find
