Size has obsessed us from the ancient times. In weight loss kingdom I bet my soul that size does matter. It plays the most crucial part in satisfaction.
In my old fat days, I would cook in bigger vessels as, of course, I would not apply any measuring method like The Mighty Rule of Fist
The picture that you see below is of my Rice pot. The one in which I used to cook earlier and the one in which I cook now. I used to cook for 2 people in the bigger pot. I still cook for 2 people but in the smaller one now.
These are the past and present vegetable cooking pans.
This is the classic. Ever since my childhood I hated eating with small spoons. I always wanted bigger spoon so that I could take bigger bites and enjoy my food. I was known as a fast eater, I would quickly finish my first round and will be ready for the next. My meal would be over in 10 minutes max.
During my weight loss, I still used the bigger spoon. But I never felt satisfied while eating. As I would eat my food quickly but would force myself not to go for the second round.
Then I came across an article in which a woman lost 5 kgs by eating with baby spoons. I tried but baby spoons are way to small. Then I finally found what suited me best. The desert spoon!!!.
I have been eating with desert spoon from a long time now. Even if I try to eat with top speed I really can't manage much with this spoon. As this spoon force me to eat slowly I am satisfied with the first round of serving itself.
Now at parties I have real tough time with bigger spoons, I first go to the ice cream counter to get a smaller spoon for my meals.
This is a great trick, apply for sometime and see the difference.
No wonder as the vessels shrunk so did my size. Remember be it size zero OR ground zero it always matters
Hey Shiva,
ReplyDeleteI never realized this tip importance when I was with my parents.There every things had to be big.Big Bowls,plate,pans etc.
My in laws eat quite less and to my surprise I hae started eating less just by shrinking the size of the pans.
Its unbelievable but it really is true.
Now when ever i go to visit my parents I look at the pans and tell always tell her what will you do with so much of food.:d
But yes she never bothers:(
