I remember when I was little, my great grandma used to fix me a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of grapefruit juice for breakfast. She had the cutest bowls, spoons and glasses. They were all very small. Her frosted glasses only held 4 ounces of liquid. Her flowery bowls held more than 8 ounces and her spoons were just as small and delicate.
This morning I had a bowl of oatmeal and thought about my great grandma. Then I thought about the size of my dishes compared to the size of hers. What a huge difference! The plates, bowls, glasses and silverware of today are enormous!
Most glasses now hold 8-12 ounces. Most plates have morphed from frisbee-sized to flying saucer sized. Our spoons have become hand-held troughs, our forks, gardening pitchforks.
You know, I'm going to bet money that a very quick and easy way to lose weight is to simply downsize your plates, bowls, glasses and other eating utensils.
Bigger plates, bowls, glasses, silverware = more space to fill with food = more calories consumed = lots of gained weight
Smaller plates, bowls, glasses, silverware = less space to fill with food = fewer calories consumed = easy, brainless weight loss
Try it and see.
