That’s because we believe we are getting gypped somehow if our food doesn’t fill
space.
Now. What does this have to do your dinner tonight? Well,
space you serve your food in matters. If you put dinner on a gigantic platter, you’ll end up with helpings 2, 3, and 4 on
plate all at
same time. And if it’s in front of you … you’re going to eat it.
So a basic message you can take home and try tonight is simply to begin on smaller plates. This trick exploits one of
bedrock laws of
Universe.
There’s four of them in all: E=MC2, Finder’s Keeper’s, The Conservation of Matter and Energy, and
big one – Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Stomach.
Simply handling this last law prevents
drastic overeating so typical of American buffet trough-feeders. And, repealing this law of nature doesn’t require any higher math or even a physics degree.
Take
first step to solving your portion problems by beginning with a smaller space for your food. Next, eat your food like you eat your ice cream – a little at a time. Enjoy it by making it last.
Small bites increase
length and pleasure of
meal. When your focus is more on enjoyment than consumption, that smaller amount becomes … perfect!
Your calories drop with your portion sizes and you love your food more – just like lingering over your single scoop death-by-chocolate ice cream cone!
Aaahhh, riiigghhtt!
