Eating by the plate is as simple as it sounds 🎯
You start each meal with protein, healthy fats, lots of fiber, and some slow low carbs.
Why this combo? 🤔
✅ The protein works with the fiber to slow down stomach emptying which improves satiety.
✅ The fat triggers the small intestine to release chemicals to tell the brain that it’s full.
✅ A small amount of low-glycemic, high-fiber carbs, such as lentils or berries, slowly releases sugar to the brain for energy so you can continue to focus. That will keep your blood sugar stable and insulin low so you can use stored fat for fuel.
Not to mention, you’ll easily be able to go 4 to 6 hours until the next meal with this way of eating.
Another tip 💡- is to close the kitchen down about 3 hours before bed so you get a 12 – 14 hour overnight fast.
Following this will not only help you become more metabolically flexible…but will ALSO keep you in fat burning mode all day long 🔥

Many people struggle terribly with portion control and weight loss. They may know what they should and should not be eating, but find it difficult to stay within the limits of an ideal healthy meal plan. By following a healthy plate portion plan, you can easily keep your calorie intake in check and lose weight in the process. Here are some tips for creating a healthy plate and sticking to it!
The very first step to creating a healthy plate is understanding what a real serving size is. A serving of food is generally equal to 1/2 cup or 4 ounces. This also can be measured by using a food scale or simply eyeballing it. Once you know what a real serving size looks like, you can begin by portioning out your meals accordingly.
When it comes to choosing healthy foods, aim for the most fruits and vegetables. These are packed with rich nutrients and fiber, which will help fill you up without providing too many calories. If you do choose to include some of the protein-rich foods on your plate, such as meat or beans, make sure they are lean cuts and cooked properly without added fat.
Once you have your healthy foods properly portioned out, it is time to focus on how you will eat them. It is best to eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite. This will help you feel fuller and faster and avoid eating too much. It is also important to chew your food thoroughly before swallowing, as this helps your body better absorb the nutrients.
If you find yourself getting hungry between meals, reach for a healthy snack instead of unhealthy junk food. A piece of fruit or a handful of nuts is both great options that will tide you over until your next meal. And if you are really struggling with portion control, there's no shame in using a smaller plate or bowl to help keep your portions in check.
Following a healthy plate, and portion plan is a great way to lose weight and improve your overall health. By eating mostly fruits and vegetables, you will be getting the nutrients your body needs while keeping your calorie intake in check. And by eating mindfully and slowly, you can avoid overeating and help your body better absorb the nutrients from your food. So give it a try today!
If you are looking to break your weight loss plateau, or start seeing results after a long struggle, it might be time to follow a healthy plate portion plan. A recent study showed that people who followed this type of plan lost more weight and inches around their waist than those who did not. And the best part is that you can still enjoy all of your favorite foods!
