“Rethink Your Plate”

This article from Obesity Action News summarizes my entire mealtime strategy in a single page.  To summarize it even further:

  1. Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables, one quarter with protein, one quarter with fruit, whole grains, or starchy vegetables.
  2. Eat your vegetables first. 
  3. What you eat last, you'll be most tempted to eat seconds of; so end your meal with something like salad.

The only thing I can add to it:  start with a smaller plate to begin with.  Mine are 8 1/2 inches.  How big are your dinner plates?
