Two Easy Ways to Control Portion Size

Serving size is the secret to not packing on the pounds, especially during the upcoming holidays. These spa tricks can help you avoid super-sizing.

1. Use smaller dishes: At Canyon Ranch, tables are set with smaller-than-standard plates. Downsize at home for instant calorie savings.

2. One-bowl eating: At Kripalu Center in Massachusetts, bowls from the Buddha Bar hold a recommended 4 ounces of protein, 3 ounces of complex carbs, and unlimited vegetables. Order a 12-ounce Baby Buddha Bowl (shown; $21) at flavourdesign.com
