The plate method allows your diet to be more flexible and allows you to still consume your favorite foods. Imagine a typical 9-inch plate that is divided into 3 sections and the largest section (half of your plate or 50%) should ideally consist of non-starchy vegetables. Example: cabbage, carrots, bok choy, tomatoes.
