    I think it works. I've always been taught to eat everything on my plate, or it's rude.

    So I just have that habit now, and if I get a big plate with lots on it...well I'm going to eat it all. I have started not to eat everything at restaurants though, because their meals are often just too big.

    I wouldn't be able to fit my 8oz steak on a small plate.

    The only time I wake up starving is when I binge on carbs at night. It creates a blood sugar crash while I sleep and I wake up immediately wanting carbs.

    I'm usually not hungry until around 11am or later. And I prefer just a couple of nice large meals.

    I'm totally the same.

    My dinner is my big meal of the day. My 8 oz chicken or 8 oz steak or 8 oz salmon with a whole artichoke or bushel of asparagus or my huge leafy greens and spinach salad with half an avocado and 6 oz chicken tossed in won't fit on a 6 inch plate.

    Funny thing is, my dinners are usually around no more than 600 calories.
