I started a diet eight months ago. I eat out a lot these days. Portions tend to be generous, especially in tourist towns, where an additional 30 french fries is supposed to make up for the extra $5 the meal cost. I was able to lose weight by the simple expedient of dividing the high-calorie component, such as fries, in half and pushing half of it to the far side of the plate. The near half is food and the far half is not-food. I’ve lost 13 pounds without changing what I eat.
The first rule of dieting: cleaning you plate is for fat people.
