Use smaller kitchen utensils

Size of your plates and bowls

Take a closer look at the size of your plates as well as bowls? Are they sufficient to hold meals for yourself or can they hold enough food for a few people? If they can hold food for more than one person, then you may be in need of some new utensils, especially if you only stop eating once your plate is completely cleared.

Smaller eating utensils

Consider purchasing yourself a set of eating utensils that are smaller than what you currently have (if you tend to have the larger alternatives!). This will help you to reduce the portion size of your meals as well as any snacks.

Upsize on your water glass!

The only utensil that you should feel free to upsize on can be your water glass. After all, the more water you consume, the better it is for your body and level of hydration. It will also help you to keep the weight down as we often tend to confuse thirst for hunger.

So go on, take a look at the size of your eating utensils the next time you find yourself in the kitchen!
