So I have decided to bring back the plate. The what?
The plate. Portion control is a big part of my issue. I love to eat-but hate to exercise. So my doctor informed me of the "plate diet". Pretty much you can eat whatever you want-as long as it fits on a 9inch plate and does not touch.
See-over the past 30 something years plates have gone from 8.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter! That is a huge increase of food if you "fill your plate". So for us non-discipline folks-we carry around a 9 in paper plate (i have even found 1 ceramic for nice restaurants.) and that is what we go by. The last time I did this I lost a lot of weight. Right now my goal is 8 more pounds!
Also-because Adoption Physicals are coming up...I have cut sweets out of my diet!! I think I have gone crazy. BUT I know it will be worth it when I am chasing after 3 kids!
I have scoured my cabinets trying to find you 9 inch plate to eat on when you come Sunday! LOL. I have found an 8 inch...will that work?? :)
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I've never heard of that, but it does sound like a good idea... hm.
