Weight Loss Tip: no.2398

Eating with a large fork may help you eat less and reduce your calorie intake, especially when dining out at restaurants.

Care to guess why?

Yup, using a fork that’s at least 20 percent bigger than a normal fork can decrease the amount of food you eat during a meal because the larger mouthfuls can trick you into feeling more satisfied with less food. Based on the study where this finding was discovered, this effect only occurs when large portions are served. That makes the strategy particularly useful when eating out, as the portions at many restaurants are gigantic. On that note, while it might not be very common for diners to bring their own silverware, most restaurants won’t take issue with it.
