Greetings y’all!!!\u00a0 I am excited to share these 4 Simple NON-FOOD TIPS to a Smaller and Taller you, because …<\/p>\n

… Sometimes it is about food; sometimes it’s not.\u00a0 Not directly anyway!<\/p>\n

Read on, follow these very simple non-food rules, and your excess weight could easily and effortlessly melt away.\u00a0\u00a0 Imagine that!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 Simple Steps to a Smaller, Taller You<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. SMALL PLATES. <\/strong>When using large plates, your portion will actually appear smaller than it is.\u00a0 You can either use smaller plates and experience your portion size more accurately, or you can bulk up your plate with 2\/3 fruits and vegetables.\u00a0 Go Small!<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 TALL GLASSES.<\/strong>\u00a0 Our brains tend to zero in on the height of objects rather than their width, so short glasses don\u2019t appear as full as they are.\u00a0 Research shows that we pour approximately 20 percent more liquid into short, wide glasses than tall glasses.\u00a0 Go Tall!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 SMALLER SPOONS.<\/strong>\u00a0 When we use big spoons to \u2018dish it,\u2019 we tend to put nearly 15 percent more food on our plate than when we scoop with smaller spoons.\u00a0 Go Smaller!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 CONTRASTING COLOR.<\/strong>\u00a0 If your food matches the color of the plate, then you are likely to eat more.\u00a0 When the color of your plate contrasts with your food, you are likely to eat less.\u00a0 For example:\u00a0 Pasta with red sauce on a red plate, may yield about a 25% larger sized portion than those who plated their red pasta on a white plate.\u00a0 Go Contrasting Colors!<\/p>\n

Remember \u2026\u00a0 Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> is with you every ounce of the weigh.<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 not the icing!<\/p>\n
