Greetings,

Portion size can also work in conjunction with the plate method. A frequency of portions of the basic food groups may be more appropriate considering types of foods. For example, salads can be a whole plate, but then addition of meat should be by portion.

I think a recent finding is that sugar substitutes can trigger insulin and cause the sensation of hunger. This will prompt the client/patient to eat more than their body needs. Sugar substitutes trick the body and do not allow the person to listen to the normal body cues for hunger.
