Today’s Weight Loss Tip<\/strong> falls into the “Oh Yeah, but … “<\/em> column.<\/p>\n

“Oh yeah, I know that portion control is the ‘secret’ to not packing on the pounds.”
\n“Oh Yeah, I know that small plates are a great idea and one-bowl eating is the way (weigh) to go.”<\/p>\n

Oh Yeah, I know BUT …<\/strong><\/em>
\n… I keep reaching for the super-sized platters!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Change your “Oh Yeah” to O.K.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make weight loss easy (or at least easier) by making sure that your kitchen supports your weight loss goals.\u00a0 Yes, stock it with the right foods, and stock it with the right-sized plates and bowls.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Use smaller dishes<\/strong>:\u00a0 For instant calorie savings, downsize your platter-size plates.\u00a0 Instead of ‘dinnerware,’ opt for the ‘salad’ size plate<\/a>.\u00a0 You’ll not only save in calories, you’ll save in space (8.5″ vs. 11.5″), and you’ll save money ($4.95 vs. $8.95)!<\/p>\n

2. One-bowl eating<\/strong>:\u00a0 Buddha Bowls<\/a> are designed to fix perfectly into the palm of your hand.\u00a0 A mere 6″D x 3″H- perfect for tea, soup, ramen noodles and much more.<\/p>\n

\"\"3.\u00a0 Creative ways to measure up:<\/strong>\u00a0 These stackable Milk Bottle Measuring Cups<\/a> measure up to Our Lady of Weight Loss’<\/a>s high standards and double as bowls from which one can eat!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I often use my one cup bowl for a pasta dinner, and my 1\/2 cup bowl to measure my quinoa.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Remember – Your home needs to support your goals,<\/strong> weight loss and otherwise.\u00a0 Stock up on healthy food choices (plenty of fruits and vegetables), declutter, create a sacred space to just ‘be!’<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Enjoy!<\/div>\n
