Use a Small Plate

Use a Small Plate

If you are attending a party with a buffet, skip the large-sized plates and instead take the plate from the dessert table.  You are less likely to dish out large portions for yourself if the plate is smaller.  Using the small plate, fill the space you have with vegetable and protein rather than carb- and sugar-based foods.
