Stuffed & bloated?

It’s really easy to eat too much during your evening meal – especially if you’ve tried to be ‘good’ throughout the day and arrive home really hungry.

One simple way to control your portion sizes is to downsize your crockery.  The trend for new crockery at the moment is big – huge plates and enormous mugs so it’s easy to fill these up and eat all that is in front of you.  Swapping to ‘normal’ sized crockery will encourage you to put less on your plate (or in your mug) but will trick the mind into thinking it’s getting more than if you half filled a big plate.  Buy crockery with a wide edge to it too and only fill the centre portion.

You shouldn’t feel stuffed or bloated from any of your meals if you control your portion sizes.
