Smaller portions - literally

tiny edible fast foodTrying to lose a little weight by cutting back on fast food and eating smaller portions? Now you can, literally.

A very crafty woman responded to a "craft challenge" and created a teeny tiny Splenda-packet-sized tray of fast food. Tiny replicas of food are nothing new, but when the replicas are made with real food and are actually edible, that's quite an achievement! The craftser used tiny pickles, tomatoes, and the innermost rings of onions, but made the bun, the burger patty, and French fries herself. Her husband fashioned the tray from clay. The photo here shows just how small the entire tray is, but a super close-up of the tiny burger on the craftster forum is incredible. You would never guess that the burger fits on your fingertip.

Thanks for the tip, Candace!

Smaller portions are the key. It worked for my wife. She dropped an incredible 160 pounds without counseling, surgery, pills or diets. Sensible eating turned a short heavyweight into a petite goddess.

That said, I don't know if whe would even go for the teeny try of goodies. I would!

Because the size reference used in one of the pictures was a Splenda packet, not a sugar packet.
