It works for me, because I'm focused on minimizing my intake of
processed foods. If I'm in the mood for some of that, all I really
need is enough to enjoy the taste of it, and then go back to the
healthier stuff on my plate. Same goes for meats - I love hamburgers,
but really, a four ounce portion of meat is a reasonable serving size.
Same goes for hot dogs - just one is sufficient. Problem is, when I'm
done with my one, everyone else is enjoying their second, or still
working on a single massive third- or half-pound burger. If I make two
sliders out of that single portion of meat, or cut the hot dog in
half, I'm doing more with my reasonable portion, without going to excess.

I know, it sounds silly. But it helps keep me from feeling deprived,
thus helps keep me on track for eating more healthily, and not to excess.
