About Me

Are you interested in losing weight? Whether your goal is to lose twenty pounds or two hundred pounds, you have come to the right place! Research shows that healthy, long-term weight loss simply cannot be achieved by fad diets, quick gimmicks, or unhealthy pills. So how CAN it be achieved?

Pay attention to your dining partners when you go out to eat. Some studies have shown that people, male or female, eat less when eating with a man as opposed to eating with a woman. The explanation for this is still being researched, but the knowledge might help you mentally prepare yourself to avoid overeating the next time you hang out with women.

One weight-loss or weight-maintenance tip people have adopted is to change the size of their dishes and cutlery. We switched from the regular dinner plates to luncheon plates, and similarly, downsized our flatware to salad forks and teaspoons. As a result, our portions have become automatically smaller, and we eat less, but the plate still looks full. People who want more food, and who don't need to lose weight, can take second helpings. But we've found that, psychologically, it is much more satisfying to be able to take a full plate of food, and have the freedom to eat it all, than to try to content ourselves with lonely little islands of food on large plates.
