There was a big fad in the 90s of massive big white bowls and plates. It was like, the bigger the bowl, the classier the establishment. These crockery monstrosities made their way into the family home and my family had an impressive collection. Sure, they look great, but our plates and bowls carry FAR too much food - far more than we actually need. Downsizing your portion size is very important not just for weight loss but for general health. Imagine your stomach is about the size of 2 fists. Try to keep your portion sizes to not more than two handfuls/scoops etc. And get smaller bowls and plates. This is particularly relevant at dinner time, when we're about to go and lie down for 8 hours we probably don't need a massive energy-dense meal! And, by eating smaller portions, your meals will last longer and you'll save money. Oh small portions, is there anything you can't do?!
For those keen, a book that really focuses on the importance of small portions, and has some great recipes is French Women Don't Get Fat. Bien!
