Those little tricks we play on ourselves really can help us eat less. Researchers presented hundreds of studies in Phoenix over the weekend at the annual meeting of the Obesity Society. A couple of interesting findings:
- One study shows people who have 100-calorie snack packages as treats eat a lot fewer calories — about 120 fewer a day — than those who are eat from a regular-size bag.
- Another report finds filling half your plate with vegetables really does cut calories.
One trick I like to play on myself is to eat from a smaller plate. Works wonders. How about you? Got any good tricks you use to help you eat less?
