Or at least less hungry. Try serving your portion-controlled meal on a smaller plate. Packed smaller plates trick your mind into seeing a plate full of food, whereas bigger plates (with gaps between your food), conversely, makes you feel deprived, and as if you are eating less. Therefore, you’re appetite is seemingly bigger, and you consequently stuff yourself with food, until it’s too late and you are bloated and uncomfortably full.
Not to mention, if you are out at a buffet (or at your work), you can’t load up on EVERYTHING at once with a smaller plate. A smaller plate will help you prioritize and reevaluate if you are really hungry enough to get more food.
Think of it this way: We have all experienced the sensation of our eyes being bigger than our stomach. But that plate? It’s not.
