Use Smaller Plates and Forks

It may seem strange, but the size of your plates and eating utensils have an impact on how much food you consume. In one study, researchers discovered that people, regardless of plate size, tend to fill their plates to roughly 70% full.

You're more likely to eat more when you have more on your plate. In other studies, those who used a larger spoon offered themselves more ice cream and ate less food when they used a little fork. So use a smaller dish and utensils, you'll eat less since the same portion will appear larger. Moreover, smaller utensils help you eat more slowly, which gives your body more time to send you “I'm full” signals and helps prevent overeating.
