Entrance to the club required that you finish every bit of food on your plate because "kids were starving in Africa." Or "India." Or "China" - the country, or continent seems to vary from household to household. Sometimes, dessert was leveraged as a reward for cleaning your plate. Your parents meant well, but if you're trying to lose weight or maintain your current weight, you can't allow what's on your plate to dictate how much you should eat. Listen to your body and eat only if you're hungry. Remember that just because you have food on your plate doesn't mean you need to eat all of it.</p> <p><b>Fit's Tips:</b> Whether you're out to dinner or eating at home, if you have too much on your plate, save the rest in a <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/1015988" >container</a> for later. Or try using a smaller plate, which will force you to put smaller portions on your plate.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" onclick="trackOutboundLink('###CATEGORY###', 'www.gettyimages.com', '###LABEL###')" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.fitsugar.com/Diet-Tip-Dont-Member-Clean-Plate-Club-2053092#comment Weight Loss Diet Tip clean plate club Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:00:00 PDT FitSugar http://www.fitsugar.com/Diet-Tip-Dont-Member-Clean-Plate-Club-2053092 http://www.yumsugar.com/You-Member-Clean-Plate-Club-1533308 <a href="http://www.yumsugar.com/You-Member-Clean-Plate-Club-1533308"><img width=160 height=148 src='http://media1.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/17470/15_2008/cleanplate2.large.jpg' /></a><p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/You-Member-Clean-Plate-Club-1533308" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Are You a Member of the Clean Plate Club?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-1533308" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-1533308" name="edit[choice]" value="0-1533308" class="form-radio" /> Yes, I hate to waste food and always eat everything on my plate.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-1533308" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-1533308" name="edit[choice]" value="1-1533308" class="form-radio" /> No, I get full easily and enjoy eating leftovers.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-1533308" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-1533308" name="edit[choice]" value="2-1533308" class="form-radio" /> It depends on the food I am eating. </label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-3-1533308" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-3-1533308" name="edit[choice]" value="3-1533308" class="form-radio" /> Other - see my comment below. </label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="1533308" /> <span class='button'><span class='button_copy'><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="epoll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.yumsugar.com/You-Member-Clean-Plate-Club-1533308#comment Poll Eating restaurants clean plate club Tue, 08 Apr 2008 09:13:31 PDT partysugar http://www.yumsugar.com/You-Member-Clean-Plate-Club-1533308
