7 Small But Powerful Diet Habits That Add Up to Major Weight-Loss Success



These small and easy changes will help you eat healthier.

When it comes to weight loss, it’s the little things that can really add up to make a big difference.

Studies show that we eat less when we use smaller dinnerware. The theory is that our eyes get tricked into thinking we are eating more because our plate is full, making the food portions look bigger.
