This is probably the biggest weightloss winner, as you automatically eat less, even if you tend to fill up your plate, twice.
Refilling your plate is a psychological, not a physiological act, so if you make the plate smaller, you keep filling it up twice, but you end up eating less.
Bizarre and illogical, but true. Try it and see. Nobody does a third plate.
Nobody?
*looks at his rotundity*
Really?

But yes. That's something that's kind of easy to do for most people.
π I never do a third plate.π€·π»ββοΈ
If the plates are smaller, I pack them higher. So, it leaves the visual impression of it being more food than it is because the plate is overflowing. But if you place the food on a larger plate, the plate isn't full. Large plates can hold incredible amounts of food.

They've done studies on this: the "endless bowl of soup" (people eat less if they have to actually eat bowl one then bowl two) or M&Ms either in a large bowl or in small individual packets (eat all you want with either, people eat less with individual packets).
Works even better, if you serve the food from the kitchen, so that they have to get up and walk across the room, to get another portion.
Using laziness to lose weight. πͺπ»

yeah, it's the wonders of the cubic function, double the diameter is 8x the volume
Yeah, people don't realize that plates work in three dimensions, as you can both fill them wider _and_ pile them higher, the larger the diameter.
without training in mathematics and physics people naively think that volume is linear same as distance. it is not.
and what's worse than what you pointed out about how plate sizes kept on growing over the last 5 decades, is the food they put on it has become increasingly higher starch, and higher in omega 6 and oodles of traces of petrochemical solvents and unnatural, toxic chemicals, non-food stuff like xanthan gum and guar gum (literal glues), and then add GMO alien proteins into the mix.
it's not at all any wonder that americans have ballooned and got sicker. it's the food, stupid.
Yeah, I start to eat like that, when I work too much and get lazy about cooking. Instead of a cupful of noodles with a steak and roasted veggies and shaved pecorino, it just turns into a gigantic plate full of noodles with a bit of pesto.
Less filling, less delicious, therefore triple the calories. ππ
i was so pleased when i discovered the day before yesterday that the nearby supermarket actually sells beef... and lamb... you'd be surprised how satisfying proper beef and lamb are, both of them really good for giving you good fat calories and protein to keep the brain and muscles humming. i also found i can get better quality eggs finally too. soft egg yolks are really good for boosting hormone levels. at our age this becomes really important.
i think also, in chinese medicine they say that older people should have diets higher in protein and fat than you can get away with when you are younger. though the chinese are averse to cheeses. i personally think white cheeses are really good, as is yogurt.
I love beef and lamb. Mmmmm...
the Lord did not like Cain's vegan burnt offering, and Cain got very butthurt so much so that he killed his brother in the field. Isaac's blessing was given for Jacob's goat. the moral of the story is that only satanists think that veganism is cool.
