"After reading [Mindless Eating], I tried [using smaller plates] and it is absolutely TRUE!!!! I’ve lost 20 lbs since trying this out, and found that I feel better after eating a meal too. Satisfied without feeling bloated and sluggish. What I like about this is that it’s not a “diet”! It allows you to eat pretty much anything , but with smaller portions that LOOK bigger to the eye. Because it’s a full plate it tricks the eye and mind into moderation! If you have any doubt about the power of this sort of “mind over matter” method just try it!!"

"After researching your site and reading [Mindless Eating], I decided to make ‘mindless eating’ my topic for professional and lay presentations for a grad class I took over the summer. I used the ‘three little jelly beans’ information combined with info about how many [pieces of red licorice] it would take to gain one pound in a year. I also had other items, such as coffee and a bagel and cream cheese. The jelly beans and red licorice demo was such an eye opener for students and my professor that I still have people stopping me on campus and saying that they really think about eating ‘just a few’ jelly beans or other types of foods. Thank you for a great new site and a book I’ve read more than once! I can’t wait to hear more about the Mindless Method."
