Follow the 9-inch Diet

Alex Bogusky, author of the book, “The 9-inch Diet”, researched and found that in the span of 30 years, the size of the average dinner plate has gone from 8 ½ inches to 12 inches in diameter. If you are trying to lose weight or just stay fit, use a 9 inch plate, often called a luncheon or salad plate, instead of a dinner plate. By using this technique, you will eat less because you fit less on your plate. This will not work if you go for a second helping.

Another tip would be not to take the "closest" parking spot when you visit the store, office, mall, restaurant, etc... that way you have to walk a bit further.
