Replace your large, modern dinner plates with grandmother’s small. Then you’ll easily lose weight
Replace your large, modern dinner plates with grandmother’s small. Then you’ll easily lose weight.
How much we eat for dinner depends on what kind of dinner plates we use in daily, according to a study conducted at Calgary University in Canada.
The Canadian researchers equipped obese diabetic patients with dinner plates, where portion sizes were drawn on the plate (as shown below).
Instead of weighing foods and counting calories, the patients should make sure that the portions they ate were not greater than the drawings on the plate.
The simple program worked well: After six months, patients who used the special plate (65 pieces) lost 2.1 kg on average.
The control group (65 pcs.) However, only got verbal advice from nutrition experts, went down an average of only 0.1 kg. Furthermore, managed nearly 17 percent of the plate group to go down at least five percent of their body weight, while only 4.6 percent of the participants in the control group achieved the same weight reduction.
This study was recently published in the American medical journal Archives of Internal Medicine. The journal is published by the American Medical Association.
To lose five percent of body weight (five kilograms if you weigh 100 kilograms) has many proven positive health effects, which lower cholesterol and lower risk of heart disease.
It seems that plates with drawings of the portion sizes are a good idea, where a quarter of the plate should consist of meat, poultry or fish, a quarter of the potato, pasta or rice, and the rest of the vegetables.
Many will find it easier to follow the plate model when portion sizes are fully drawn on the plate.
Dinner is a problem area for many who want to lose weight.
Many men and many women are very fond of dinner, and strive to limit the intake.
Take a look in the closet to the grandmother, and then you will probably see that both breakfast plate and dinner plates are of smaller size than those we use today.
To eat dinner from a smaller plate gives you several advantages.
You will eat less because you can easily see what a suitable portion is. A smaller portion looks bigger on a small plate, and visuals actually have much to say how happy you are.
How should the portions allocated?
There are several serving plates on the market. The Canadian researchers used the plates that are marketed under the name The Diet Plate in his study.
You can find the dinner plates in different versions for men and women (pictured above), and there are also children’s models. Servings of meat, fish or chicken (protein) shall constitute one quarter, ie 60 to 90 g for women, and 125 to 150 g for men.
Starchy carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, pasta, peas, corn, turnips, beans, noodles, bread and lentils) should also be one quarter, and corresponds to 90 to 125 g for women and 180 to 225 g for men.
One half will be other vegetables (raw or cooked). Rice – or pasta ring (outer circle) is used to indicate the quantity of mixed dishes such as beef stroganoff, stew, spaghetti Bolognese, fried rice, etc.
The Diet Plate is the only clinically proven portion control system in the world. The plate counts the calories so you don’t have to!
Losing weight has never been so simple, no special foods, no weighing or measuring, just serve it on The Diet Plate
