WFMW (The Plate Method)
It's time to post yet another WFMW tip.
The other day I was in Walgreens, picking up a perscription. Snuggle Bug was over in the waiting area of the pharmacy and he brought me a magazine that I otherwise wouldn't have bothered looking it. The magazine was called, "Diabetes & You" and it was published by Walgreens for customers to take home for free. I absentmindely thumbed through it while I waited for my perscription thinking I wouldn't get much out of it because I'm not a diabetic.
An article called, "Rate your plate" caught my attention! Since beginning the May Challenge I've been trying to eat healthier and watch my portion control. This article taught me about the Plate Method and it reaffirms that I'm eating way too many carbs still and not enough veggies. Having the visual pictures is very helpful so I scanned the article in to share with you all. Click on the images to enlarge them. Let me know what you think!
The Plate Method works for me, maybe it'll work for you. To see what works for others, be sure to check out the other links at Shannon's, the creator of Works-For-Me Wednesday!

Thanks for this. I am a very visual person and this is easy and graphic. It also shows that I am not getting enough veggies!
That is very helpful. I do have worries of diabetes and need to be more vigilant. Thank you for sharing that.
This is so helpful ~ Thank you! I am going to use this as a visual for my children during our Health/Nutrition unit!
Works for me too! Thanks fro sharing it.
Thanks, I'll never look at my plate the same way :o)
Love this tip -- great visual to go by, and I think its something I can start my son on, too!
I will have to check this out for sure. I don't eat enough veggies either. Hugs to you!
Hmm.. very interesting! Thanks for sharing this information. I'm going to do some more research tonight on this. Funny what things will come your way! (P.S. - Love your blog!)

Thanks for the stamp idea - Speedy loves them too but I've never gotten any so i think I'll do that tomorrow! And put it off as long as you can - it ain't fun.
