Guest guest Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I stopped using a plate for my favorite snacks. Before, I'd portion control it to the point where I'd polish it off even if I stopped wanting it halfway through since it was " allotted " so I didn't want to waste the opportunity. Now if I want some veggies and ranch, I eat it right out of the tub. Now I eat a lot less of it than I ever would have thought possible. I don't know if that counts as a tip or not, but it's something that has certainly changed. > > > I thought it might be fun and profitable to have a chance to each list one particular tip that helps us eat mindfully and with enjoyment. > > > > One thing I'm working on right now is eating the best parts, the most delicious parts of any food first and leaving the dry, less appealing parts for last. > > > > Why eat the dry, unappealing bits?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 That's interesting. The diet books all claimed that studies showed people ate less when a small portion was plated, rather than unlimited access to the large container full. You must be pretty good at listening to your body signals.
