I’m sure you’re tired of the cliche weight loss tips. You know — walk more, eat healthier, exercise more, drink more water, do intermittent fasting, etc.

I want to share 5 tips that you’ve most probably never seen before. And no, unlike most “bro-science” tips you see online, these are backed by solid research.

The best part? None of these take much effort or time.

Switch to Smaller Cutlery

A month back, I swapped my huge lunch plate with a small bowl. And I substituted my supper spoon with one slightly bigger than a teaspoon.

Changing nothing else, I lost a kg in the last month. This “too good to be true” hack leverages psychology, mainly the Delbeouf illusion — the same quantity of food looks lesser on a large plate than a smaller one.

So, you subconsciously use lesser portions but still feel more satiated.

Studies have also confirmed this — they’ve linked smaller plates to a higher Estimated Satiation (ES) with a lower Estimated Intake (EI).
