It is very easy to over eat especially when we are programmed by todays society to stuff our stomaches with super sized meals and all you can eat buffets. That´s one reason why I particularly don´t like to eat at places that offer buffets.
I don´t want to put myself in that situation to have to reason with my brain about my diet: "No, one serving is enough, I said...NO! Really? You think I´m worth it..I don´t know...I´m kind of full already..ooh, you think I can take just one more small serving? Ok then, thank you brain..I trust you." It does´nt work. Maybe you have the strength to withstand the urge to milk every penny out of the food they serve but I can´t.
One thing that I´m a strong believer of is this: DO NOT put yourself in a situation that you know you may not be able to handle. It´s just not smart. If I´m trying to loose weight, keep my diet and feel better why should I go to a restaurant that serves MEGA plates or have buffé? It doesnt make any sense.
The same goes at home. If you want to keep your healthy diet it´s not smart, when you serve the food, to always use the biggest plates. Mix it up. Sometimes you use regular plates and sometimes you eat on smaller plates. It´s all about tricking your brain. Use your senses to your advantage.
