[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 234844, member: 1963"] I joke and say that one thing that has contributed to my rethinking the way I eat is that I'm dirt poor. I've got a choice: I can live on carbs or I can live on starches (I've got about 55 lbs of Zyprexa fat to lose). I did a couple of things; I went mostly vegetarian (ovo lactarian...and very occasionally fish--it's not cheap, but it doesn't shrink during cooking). Then, I Invented my own version of portion control. I took one standard sized dinner plate and divided it up into quarters. !/4 protein; 1/4 starch; 2/4 veggies and/or fruit, etc. If I were to have a dinner like I did last night, where the entree was a brown rice and lentils dish (starch and protein together), I simply split the plate in half to measure servings. Using smaller plates makes servings look bigger as well. [/QUOTE]
