Yes! We do this too. My parents insist on "family style" dinners where all of the food is on the table, and I see the difference. With the food right there, it's just too easy to grab seconds (or thirds). I also make my 5 yr old wait a couple of minutes before getting seconds. Often his stomach catches up with his head before the seconds come and he finds he's not hungry anymore. cathys last blog post..Friday Mish Mash

SO TRUE
I think back to my family meals growing up and the serving platters all over and, well, no wonder….

Hi Liz, this is something we have done in our family for a long time now. Another great trick is to place a bottle or jug of water on the table so that instead of eating more food you can just fill up on water
