Have you tried portion control containers?

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me their experiences with the portion control containers and if they are worth getting?

Hi after 6 months on my new journey last month I treated myself to a portion plate I didn't really need one as I had been OK weighing out everything but it did make me realise just how many carbs I used to eat for my dinner as opposed to the protein, fruit and veg side.

That's good

no I haven't tried them... I just bought a small dinner plate and it makes it look like I'm eating more... tricks the brain ! haha

Me too, I'm eating off a medium sized side plate, rather than a dinnner plate. It is really working!

it's bizarre isn't it how much it works.. I watched a program about how our portion sizes have increased and also our plate size.

now the whole family eat from smaller plates during the week and no-one has noticed the portion size has reduced.
