[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 295342, member: 3444"] Thanks for sharing this info -- I'm going to check it out. My mom has attempted recently to secretly influence my dad's eating habits since his health has deteriorated so much and he was at one point about 150 pounds overweight and it was really contributing to his health decline (congestive heart failure). Her technique was very simple. She bought new dishes that had a very large patterned border, and made a point of only putting his food in the center of the plate so that his eye looked at it and was essentially tricked into thinking there was more on the plate because of the pattern. So far, it has worked (because he has not complained one bit about the smaller portions -- and this guy would fight you tooth and nail if he thought for a second you were trying to "control" what he's eating) and that, combined with him finally sticking to his medication regimine, he has dropped over 50 pounds since May of this year.
