Portion Size Have Grown Ridiculously Over the Last 30 Years
There have been numerous studies that have sampled portion sizes from grocery stores, family restaurants and take-away places, and compared these to recommended Food and Drug Administration portion sizes, and compared these to historical portion sizes. These studies have clearly demonstrated that with the increase in portion sizes of food beginning in the 1970s and rising sharply in the 1980s, there has been a parallel upsurge in the amount of cases of obesity diagnosed. One way to combat individually the offered portion sizes is to downsize your plate.

Commercially available portion size plates have become available in both retail outlets and online stores, and these provide visual aids for the amount of food such as protein, carbohydrate and vegetable that should be served at each meal. People who have obesity surgery such as laparascopic gastric banding, or Roux-N-Y surgery have their stomachs surgically altered to be smaller, so they are eating smaller portion sizes. They are also advised by their surgeons and care teams to serve their meals on bread and butter plates, and small bowls, often child-size bowls, in order to help decrease their portion servings.
Painless Ways to Avoid Obesity Surgery
By simply swapping your normal sized dinner plate for a smaller dinner plate, or using a bread and butter plate to serve your meal on, you are automatically reducing the amount of food you are eating, and thus also reducing your energy intake. Reducing your energy intake by smaller portion sizes is a simple and effective way to lose weight. If you are pressured socially to eat larger portions, invite people to your house to eat, and you can serve your own meals on a smaller plate. When you go out for coffee and dessert with friends, you also have the option of sharing dessert with your friend, so that you halve your kilojoule or calorie intake, without compromising on your lifestyle.
Downsize Your Cutlery to Further Lose Weight
Obesity surgeons also recommend their patients to downsize their cutlery to using toddler cutlery, or using a teaspoon to serve their meals on, so that the person is taking smaller bites of their food. By taking smaller bites of the meal, you are effectively taking longer to eat your meal, and not gulping it down. When you chew your food thoroughly, and take smaller bites, you are allowing your satiation hormones to kick in, which take around 20 minutes after you begin your meal, and you will feel fuller much faster than if you wolfed down your meal.
French People Don't Get Fat
French people don't get fat, but yet they have an extremely rich diet. French culture has been studied in their eating habits, and how they contribute to a smaller, less obese population size. Whenever French people eat, they sit down to eat, and use cutlery. They eat slowly, and see eating as a social occasion, and they eat mindfully, and enjoy their food. By slowing down, sitting down at a table, and sharing a meal with friends, you can also enjoy your food, and not have calorie amnesia. Mindfully be aware of your surroundings and the taste of your food, and you will eat less of it.
