Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:33:48 +0000 http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlWill do thanks.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 21:33:48 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlI'm glad that I was of some help. Let me know how you get on.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 21:13:41 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlYep mine are 27cms as well! My dau has just started using a side plate which is of course too small so has to be refilled - I have no doubt defeating the object. I shall try your suggestion thanks.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 21:10:58 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlOh, the plate I use is a Portmeirion one (Botanical Garden - wedding present!) but they're very common in places like Debenhams and the more traditional department stores.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 20:59:01 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlI use medium sized dinner plates, I'll pop downstairs to measure diameter... Right, the diameter of the current plate is 21.5cm and I used to eat off diameter 27cm. No wonder I was so big!!! Is that any help?http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 20:57:42 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlTry using a salad plate, I think they are an in-between. When I have a meal at work I ask for it to be on a salad plate.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 20:56:39 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlWhere did you find plates that are smaller than standard dinner plates but bigger than side plates? I've been looking but no joy so far. I read somewhere that Liz Hurley eats from a child's plate to keep slim, works for her too. Thankshttp://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 20:54:05 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlNo I haven't but what I have done is use a plate the size of my children's plates and have the same size portions - they're 7 (boy) and 11 (girl) and it's working for me! I must admit, I don't really know if I'm having the right amount of protein, carb etc but I do have loads of fruit and veg and try and get some protein at each meal apart from breakfast....http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 20:48:54 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlI've just seen the (expensive I think) diet plate, that has portions calibrated so you dont have to put your food on scales. Has anyone tried it? What say you? Thankshttp://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1082_0.htmlMon, 23 Jun 2008 20:46:58 +0000
