The Plate Method only works for weight loss if you fill it with nutritious and healthy foods. Half your plate should include non-starchy vegetables and fruits, while the other half should be divided into two-quarter sections, one of which should consist of lean proteins and the other of complex carbs. Your plate should be no larger than 9-10 inches in diameter. Following these steps makes reaching your weight loss results more likely. In addition, shedding pounds requires adequate sleep, hydration, and exercise habits.
