As you may already know, I have been trying to get in shape for the summer months. I do my share of hard work in the gym. But, although I have drastically changed my eating habits, at the end of the day I still keep having a lot of this evil food: white rice.
I’ve been brought up in a culture that eats white rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And recently I was able to find a tool that controls my rice intake. So, without further ado…
Ah yes, the good ol’ fork. Filipinos like myself are accustomed to eating meals using both a spoon and a fork. This way we can pile on (a lot of) rice into a spoon using a fork. While this is the most effective way to eat, it has also left me stuffed all the time. So I am letting my spoon go. Eating with a fork allows for some food to fall off, and thus I am eating smaller bites and more slowly.
Seems simple (or stupid?), but I never considered it as “portion control” before. I hope at least someone would find it useful.
