Winner: Michele Pineda! Congratulations!
It’s no secret that I’m constantly looking for new ways to keep healthy and keep my weight down. And with the new year’s resolutions flying, I’m sure many of you are in the same boat I am! I have found one thing that is hugely helpful to me is portion control. I mean, even if you eat things that are good for you, eating too much of them can still make you pack on the pounds! So what’s a girl to do? Well, this girl thinks Yum Yum Dishes just might be the solution!
Yum Yum Dishes are adorably cute bowls and plates that are perfectly sized for portion control, helping to keep you from overeating! By using these dishes and bowls while eating and snacking, you can prevent the trap of endless eating due to getting distracted or just not paying attention! I am notorious for grabbing a bag of chips or crackers and before I know it, half (or all) of the bag is gone! With Yum Yum Dishes, I don’t have to worry about this! Instead, I eat till I see the friendly little message telling me that Yum Yum time is over and then I stop! Perfect!
We were able to try out both the 9-inch Yum Yum plate and the Yum Yum Bowl. We loved both of them. I especially love the plate! Did you know that the average dinner plate is 11 to 13 inches! It holds way more food than we need. But I always hate when I dip a small amount of food and my plate looks so bare! It make me feel deprived! With the 9 inch Yum Yum plate, an appropriate serving looks like the perfect amount! I am able to happily eat and when I’m done, I know I have not overdone it – which makes me feel good! And the Yum Yum bowl is PERFECT for snacking! We watched a movie last night and yes, we had popcorn. This is another one of those food that I eat out of the bag and don’t keep a good track of. By putting my popcorn in the Yum Yum bowl, I ate just the right amount and wasn’t shocked in the end by the food I had eaten! These are great tools to help you lose weight, maintain your weight or just aid in your healthy lifestyle!
Do you want to try your own Yum Yum bowls and plates and incorporate it into YOUR healthy lifestyle? Well, today is your lucky day then! One of my readers will win a set or 4 Yum Yum Bowls ($24 value) AND a set of 4 Yum Yum 9-inch plates ($29 value). Are you excited or what?

It will help me not over eat.
I’m a “grazer” tending to snack rather than sit down for meals during the day. These would be a great help to keep track of that.
Yum Yum’s cute and right-sized bowls and plates will help me keep track of my portion sizes almost effortlessly!
What cute and creative way to control your portions, love these things!! I would use it as motivation for me to control my portions, it is so easy to over eat when you have a plate that is twice the size of your average portion.
It will help me from overeating!

I would love to win the yum yum dishes for our family. Our family loves to cook! My husband is a Chef and we don’t always watch our portion sizes. I recently read an article for children’s portion sizes and realized that we force our 3 year old to eat more than he needs. I had a wake up call after reading that article.

I commit a lot of diet ‘sins’, but portion control would be a huge help! Even if I didn’t change any other of my (bad) habits, having smaller, more appropriately-sized portions would make a big difference!
Thanks!

For me, this set would help me with portion control. I am the type of person that hates to measure and when I go to eat, I get distracted and do not think about needing to stop until it’s too late. This is why I have gotten to the point of buying items that are in portions already, so I do not have to worry about eating too much. This would be a way to help reinforce this, so I am able to keep to my weight loss goals.
It would help me with portion control!
I actually eat really healthy, its portion control I have a problem with! These sound perfect!
Portion size I think is my biggest challenge. I always guess way over or way under the correct amount I am supposed to be eating.
