So I said I’d start showing you what I eat on a daily basis…here’s breakfast. The “Bacon Burger with Fries” with an egg on top from the meal plan, and I ate two clementines 🍊 at 6am before going to yoga this morning. 🙏🏼
By the way, notice that the bowl I’m eating from is a small dessert bowl. It’s not a regular cereal bowl. (You know how small little clementines are, so you can gauge by that.) At our house, we have cereal bowls and dinner plates, but they’re rarely used. We always eat out of the small dessert bowls and off of a salad plate. (CHECK OUT BOTH PICS TO REALLY SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN PLATE/BOWL SIZE. It’ll help you mentally digest (pun intended 😉) what I’m talking about.)
 
When food looks as though it fills your plate, it’s easier to stop after one serving because your brain registers that you just ate a whole plateful. You also have time to register how mush you’ve eaten. And the physical act of having to get up to get more (if you keep your serving dishes away from the table) also helps your brain to register that you’ve already eaten a good amount. Plus, if you happen go back for seconds, you’re not eating as much as you would with two helpings of the larger dinner plate (or cereal bowl).
 
So if possible, get yourself some smaller salad plates and make it a point to eat off of them. Most likely you’ll ingest less calories with just these simple tricks. 👍🏻😋
