经常有人问我：“健康饮食有什么秘诀？” 其实答案并不神秘。你只需要遵循以下这些基本准则：

 Use smaller plates.
换小点的盘子

Whether you're already trim or trying to lose weight, one of the best things you can do for your waistline and your health is to downsize your dishware. Cornell University nutrition researcher Brian Wansink, PhD, has found that switching from a 12-inch to a ten-inch plate leads people to eat 22 percent fewer calories. If you downsized only your dinner plate, you'd be eliminating more than 5,000 calories a month from your diet. It really is that simple.
不管你是想保持苗条身材还是想减肥，最好的办法之一就是缩小餐具尺寸。康奈尔大学营养学研究员布莱恩-文森克博士发现，把盘子从12英寸缩小到10英寸，可以使人们少摄入22%的卡路里。即使你只在晚饭时用小点的盘子，一个月下来你也可以从饮食中减少5000卡路里的摄入。就是这么简单。来自www.Examw.com

 Make half of every meal fruits or vegetables.
每顿饭都要保证一半是水果或蔬菜

At breakfast, fill your bowl halfway with cereal, then top it off with berries or sliced banana. At lunch, eat a smaller—or half—sandwich, and add two pieces of fruit. At dinner, make sure your plate is at least 50 percent salad, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, or whatever veggie you choose. This ensures that you get enough nutrients and automatically reduces the amount of fat and calories you consume (provided you don't go crazy with fatty dressings and toppings).
早餐时可以吃半碗燕麦片加浆果和香蕉片。午饭吃一个小点的（或半个）汉堡和两块水果。晚饭保证你的餐盘里至少有50%的莴苣、西兰花、芦笋和花椰菜，你自己喜欢吃的蔬菜都行。这不仅能保证你所需要的营养，而且能减少脂肪和卡路里的消耗（前提是你不迷恋多脂调味品和浇头）。
