Smaller plates/bowls is something I adopted when I started my weight loss 3 years ago and I still eat this way. I find it a lot more satisfying (mentally) to have a big heaping plate and know that I get all of it than to have a small pittance on a giant (American sized) plate.
I got mine very inexpensively open stock at an Ikea store.
American plates are now 11-12 inches, euro 7-9. Mine are 7.
My grandmothers china has 8 inch dinner plates. That is how much things have changed in a short time. No wonder we eat more, and we are a lot less active.
