🌿 WellnessToday's Tip
French meals last longer, and portions are smaller. The average French lunch is 40 minutes. The average American lunch is 15. When you eat slowly, your brain registers fullness before you overeat. The pace is the portion control.
Try This
At your next meal, put your fork down between bites. Chew completely. Sip water. Aim for 25 minutes minimum. You will eat less, taste more, and feel satisfied rather than stuffed.
Curated Pick
Our Recommendation
Smaller dinner plates, 9 inches instead of 12. French portions look complete on a smaller plate. Your brain reads a full small plate as more satisfying than a half-empty large one.
