Research shows that you'll eat less off small plates because you'll keep your portions in check. For drinks, use your smallest glasses for milk and juice and your biggest ones for water. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a couple of dates stuffed with almonds, or indulge a salt craving with a slice of turkey jerky. Nuts have even been linked to weight loss and reducing the risk of heart disease. Start by tossing the treats you simply can’t resist overdoing — whether that’s cookies, ice cream, chips, or soda.
