Hi, this is my first fanfiction. I'll try to update quickly. Constructive Criticism and reviews are apreciated! Rick Rioden owns Percy Jackson, not me. Enjoy!
Reyna's POV:
Once again Octavian was trying to take over in the Senate meeting, "Why should we trust these Greeks?" Octavian was saying.
He was pacing the floor and trying to win over the senators, putting them in the worse light he could. Percy had just told us he was Greek and about Lady Juno's plan for the Prophecy of the Seven. Many of the senators shifted nervously in their seats; I watched my sister Hylla and the other guests filling up the Senate House. Octavian continued his argument, "But why do more? Why tempt fate?"
This time Percy stepped in, "I'm glad you asked."
Octavian wasn't expecting that, " I wasn't-"
Again Percy cut in, "-part of the quest. Yes, I know. And your wise to let me explain, since I was."
Percy one, Octavian zero. I zoned out for a little bit, I know what your going to say, Reyna, the super responsible praetor of New Rome, zoning out? Well I have ADHD too. Gwen spoke which brought me back to the Senate meeting, "- say he is not a true hero of Rome?"
I stood and Percy watched me anxiously. "You claim that this is a combined quest," I spoke to him carefully, "You claim Juno intends for us to work with this- this other group, Camp Half-Blood. Yet the Greeks have been our enemies for eons. They are known for their deceptions."
Percy said something and Hylla laughed, but I was too distracted. I had a feeling that this meeting with the Greeks wouldn't be as expected.
Percy was trying so hard to convince us, " -while you were defending Mount Othrys, we were defending Mount Olympus in Manhattan. I fought Kronos myself."
I backed up and almost tripped over my toga. I was feeling dizzy, "You... what?
I waited till I felt less dizzy and Percy once again dropped surprising news on me, "The other four are on their way from Camp Half-Blood right now. One of them is Jason Grace, your old praetor."
My heart fluttered in my chest. I am going to see Jason again! Woah, I'm thinking like a venus girl now. I need to keep my duty first then my feelings. Octavian yelled discontentedly, " Oh, come on! He's making stuff up now."
I frowned. I trusted Percy, but it was kinda hard to believe. Finally I spoke, "It is a lot to believe. Jason is coming back with a bunch of Greek demigods? You say they're going to appear in the sky in a heavily armed warship, and we shouldn't be worried."
Yes. Just let them land. Hear them out. Jason will back up everything I'm telling you," then Percy said something really stupid, "I swear on my life."
Romans take that very seriously. Octavian didn't let that go as he pointed it out to Senate. Just then a messenger came in, out of breath as he spoke. "Praetors! I'm sorry to interrupt, but our scouts report-"
He was interrupted by Percy's half brother, a cyclops, "Ship!" He pointed at the hole in the ceiling, "Yay!" Suddenly I was surrounded by a bright blue light, not able to give any orders.

Pat Riley is not planning on major changes to the Miami Heat roster before next season, and hopes to bring at least the majority of the club that captured this season's NBA title. Riley says next year will be ''a greater challenge'' for the Heat, who have won the last two NBA titles and will be entering a new season this fall that could be a prelude for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opting to become free agents in the summer of 2014. Riley says the team will monitor free agency, but that it wants Chris Andersen and Ray Allen to return to the club next season. Andersen was in Miami's facility working out on Wednesday, less than a week after the Heat won Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. Riley also says he will remain with the Heat as long as he's wanted.

Flicks in Five with Lynne Warfel
Every Saturday at 11 a.m. and Tuesdays at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Lynne Warfel takes a close look at great films, their scores and the stories behind the cameras... all in five minutes.
Recent Episodes
- Flicks in Five: The Lion in Winter
Movie scores provide a huge portion of the story telling. John Barry wrote a choral score for The Lion in Winter that sets the stage for intrigue and the appropriate Plantagenet style backstabbing.October 29, 2013
- Flicks in Five: Monsters, Inc.
Our celebration of Pixar films continues this week as we look at Monsters, Inc., another Randy Newman-composed score.October 22, 2013
- Flicks in Five: Casablanca
So many Hollywood romances, so little time. But for sheer passion and a tale of (nearly) unrequited love, at least by movie's end, you can't beat Rick and Ilse in "Casablanca." Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman sizzled as the two star-crossed lovers trying to survive in war-torn North Africa. Sam plays again on Flicks in Five.October 8, 2013
- Flicks in Five: Humphrey Bogart
While Casablanca made Humphrey Bogart a star before he met Lauren Bacall, it was their famous off-screen love affair that fired their on-screen chemistry.September 24, 2013
- Flicks in Five: Dead Poets Society
As we think about movies with a back-to-school theme, there's a beautiful and rather somber one that comes to mind. It was even filmed at a real private school in Vermont.September 17, 2013

"Was sent to another Hotel- Hotel Villa Margaux :-("
Arrived late at night and was then told we had to had to stay at another hotel so not really able to rate this one but wanted to let people know what could happen! Was bumped to the Hotel Villa Margaux which looked nice on first impressions but it was so noisy. Between the elevator and the noise from metro we had the worst night. Was only in Paris a […] day and having no sleep did not bode well. The door to the bathroom was broken so was unable to close it. There was no shower curtain so a short shower flooded the very small bathroom. It was close to midnight when we arrived so by the time we realised the issues it was too late. Shame as I could have booked a cheaper place and had a bad nights sleep Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"One night in Paris"
Cozy room, hotel was a bit noisy during the night. Good breakfastGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre"
Arrived to find a crumbling lobby in the process of being decorated. Didn't bode well. Everything was dark and dingy. Went to room. It was clean (I think) but so tiny and not a nice space to be in - dark and ugly. Requested a refund as this was not what we expected from the reviews seen on expedia and the price we paid. Owner said we could stay in another […] hotel but could not get a refund and so we were moved to Hotel Margaut which is just around the corner. Still tiny but clean and a bit nicer and the owners were very friendly. Night club/ bar opposite so no sleep on the Saturday night but was quiet on the Sunday night or perhaps we were just too tired to care. Still managed to enjoy Paris but next time will stay in a more central hotel and will check the reviews more carefully. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A good clean basic hotel"
A good family room. Nice and spacious and best if all CLEAN! The staff were very helpful and its walking distance from the station. This is a fairly basic hotel though not luxurious but it suited our purposes just fine :-)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Let down by continuous noise"
Firstly the hotel room was very small, this however was manageable. What was un-exceptable was the complete lack of any sound proofing. I have never stayed at a hotel where it was so noisy at all hours of the day, my room was next to the stairwell and you could hear people stomping up the stairs all hours of the day. The room was clean though and the […] buffet breakfast was perfectly acceptable. If I go to paris again I would pay more for a different hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A good Stay at Hotel Migny"
This was an excellent location to stay for 3 adults sharing a triple room close to the centre of things and ideally located for Montmatre and Metro There were no issues with the hotel or its staff who were helpful and always on hand.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I would not recommend"
The hotel was expensive and the standard was low for that price. It was smelly, not so clean, the floor was in a very bad shape and the bathroom wasn't clean either. I had a view over another wall and the TV was in an awkward place on a wardrobe, so there was no comfortable way to watch it other than stand up. I could hear everything other guests did […] and every step on the corridor like it was just ned to me. Some strange noise made by the AC device woke me up several times in the night. The neighbourhood was shabby and the lobby was all dusty. Service was ok and the breakfast was acceptable. Overall, not recommended Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Paris opera area"

"Comfy nights sleep"
Rooms are clean and functionable. There are no drinks facilities in the room though. Breakfast is very limited choice of croissant, cornflakes, coco pops, toast and cold meats. What is available is perfectly good enough. Staff were lovely, maids very thorough. All in all good value for money.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear Dawn, Thank you for your very nice review. I am very glad to learn that we have provided good service to you during your recent stay with us. I will surely share your kind words to our Team. We hope to see you again on your next trip to Paris. Best regards.
"Good value for money."
Considering how little we paid for our family room, we were impressed by the modern decor, cleanliness, and convenient location of the hotel. Reception and breakfast could be improved.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel near Sacre Coeur and restaurants"
Love the fact that our family of 5 can all be in one room up in the eaves. Reception staff were excellent. Our second visit to the hotel and we would definitely go again. Thank you.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Excellent location."
Excellent location, close to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur, St George's and Pigalle metros and walking distance from Gare du Nord. Rooms spacious and we had a fantastic view of Sacre Coeur. Hotel staff pleasant and helpful. However the hotel is in the midst of external and internal renovations. Dust everywhere downstairs, water/ bits dropping on us as […] we entered/ left hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

We are happy to hear you loved our location and great proximity to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur, St George's and Pigalle metros and Glad to hear, also, that you enjoyed our spacious rooms and our fantastic view on Paris.

We shall be glad to receive you very soon in Paris and to show you the hotel after renovation. It'll be fantastic. Best regards.
"Short break"
Hotel was fine. Staff very helpful. Provided a map. Hotel clean and room a nice size. Hotel also needed a lot of decorating. Shower was a challenge. Just needed a base to see Paris and it was fine for that. Wouldn't have wanted to spend time in the hotel for the sake of it.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear Customer, Thank you for your nice comment. We are in the process of re-decoration of the hotel. We invite you to come see our new products very soon. Best regards from Paris.,
"Good location near Montmatre"
Pleasant enough but very thin walls/floors. Could hear others walking around. Decent breakfast and nice staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear Sir, Thank you for taking the time to post your review.

We are happy to read you appreciated the breafast buffet and our staff. We shall be glad to welcome you again in Paris. Best regards.
"Paris was wonderful"
Paris was lovely but the hotel was a crushing disappointment. Room was tiny no amenities couldn't check in till 3!! Wanted my card, didn't give it go them. No safe place for luggage. A room where they just gave the key to anyone irrespective of the fact that others luggage was in there. The staff were actually very nice. It's not their fault that they […] have to work within such a place. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre We are very disappointed to read your comment. We asked a credit card number as security for payment of the room like all hotels. A closed luggage room is available 24 hours. We deeply regret your comment. kind regards,
"Boutique Hotel in Paris Montmartre area"
Very pleasant stay in a lovely area. Room was very small and no place to store clothes.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear Neil, Thanks a lot for your lovely review. We shall be glad to welcome you again in Paris. Best regards.
"family holiday"
The hotel itself was very cute. Very French. Staff were great on arrival. Rooms clean. We had a family room for 2 adults and 3 children. The room was far too small. Needed tea and coffee making facilities. No iron or ironing board in the room. I would recommend for a couple only but not really suitable for a family.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice staff tiny room"
The staff were very friendly and the hotel was clean and functional but the room I had was squeezed into a corner so the toilet door and main front door could not be opened together and the whole thing felt claustrophobicGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear Phil, Thanks a lot for your review. As you know, our hotel is located on a very old building. All our rooms are different. We shall be glad to welcome you next time in a bigger room. Best regards from Paris.
"great hotel"
Great location friendly staff I think our triple room on 5th floor was probably the best room in hotel balcony and great bathroom other guests mentioned their bathrooms were too small the only niggle I had would have liked tea making facility breakfast was adequate but the morning rush made it easier to eat out plenty of cafés locally. Recommend taking […] a hop on tour to acclimatise hotel can arrange. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient location with room for improvement"
The room is big. Convenient location. The room is not very clean compared to the hotel we have stayed. Small towels disappeared since the second day of the stay. You may find better breakfast with in 2 min of walk.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear guest, Thank you very much for your review. We are glad to read you enjoyed the hotel but sincerely disappointed to read you didn't find the room correctly cleaned and for the towels. I forward immediately your comment to our housekeeping . We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Sincerely,
"Friendly hotel in a great location"
We are a family of five, with three children, and this hotel was ideal for us. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. The breakfast was very good with a nice selection of croissants, hams, cheese, yogurts, fruit etc. The location was ideal as it was just a few minutes walk from a metro station, and was around the corner from a lovely road with […] nice little shops, as well as a supermarket. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear Guest, What a lovely review. Your review made us very happy. We are giving the hotel a face-lift and we're working on increased customers service. We shall be glad to welcome you soon in Paris. Best regards.

Poor beds, unfriendly staff, poor breakfast, noisy, thin walls, sketchy neighbourhood . I would rate as one star hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"very convenient for the sights and centre"
It was good value for the location, our breakfast was included and again was good value and a reasonable choice of things. We had two rooms once was fine, quiet etc the other the only negative for us was that our room was a bit noisy at night. We could hear our neighbours going in and out and talking loudly.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear guest, Thank you for your nice review. We are very much humbled by your words. We are glad that you enjoyed your recent stay with us. We apologise if you fund your room noisy during your stay. Sometimes our guests are not very discreet. We look forward welcoming you back in Paris.

Room was clean and comfortable. No disturbance from inside or outside noise. Friendly helpful staff. Good renewal of towels etc. Within a few minutes walk of Pigalle metro & within easy reach of major attractions. Close to the red-light area but this did not seem to be a problem.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent choice for family of 5 on a budget"
When we entered the lobby and were greeted with ambivalence I thought the hotel was going to be awful. The stairwells are quite dirty and the lobby is a bit depressing but our room ended up being just perfect for our needs. Spacious enough -- and clean. We booked a family room for 5 (all twin beds) - and with breakfast included it was a good choice […] for budget accommodations. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have the opportunity to be your home away from home when you're in Paris next! Kind regards,
"Good location"
Arrived before 3pm check in, no problem providing us the room, so we could drop off our luggage. Very helpful staff, had maps to give out and provided us with all the information we needed. Rooms are clean and today. We were a family of 4, and the room was plenty big enough forums all. The only downside to the room was there was no plug for the bath, […] therefore we had to ask reception for one, they couldn't find one in the evening and was told to come back at 6:30 in the morning to collect one! Location fantastic to get around Paris, where there are 2 metro stops all within less that 5 minute walk. The Buffett breakfast was adequate, all though it was a bit small where the food was served, therefore if you arrived at a peak time, you were pushing and shoving a bit to get to your breakfast (most Europeans don't believe in queueing). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear Sue, Thank you for your comments and feedback. We certainly appreciate your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back to Paris in the near future. Sincerely,
"Not a place to stay"
Rude staff and bad housekeeping. No tea or coffee machine in room and no plates provided by hotelGenuine Expedia guest review
"Central hotel in pigalle"
The hotel was brilliantly situated in Pigalle. We got a fantastic deal to stay here. The room was basic but clean and tidy. The staff were good, laid back and did their job efficiently. This ain't a glamorous hotel, but it is excellent value. We had a beautiful view of the roofs of Paris. Tres chic!Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your comments and feedback; we sincerely appreciate it. We hope you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back to Paris in the future. Sincerely,
"Poor Service"
Staff in the reception not very helpful. When we checked in the elevator not working as the door on the 5th floor not been closed properly. The staff refused to go up and fix the door instead asked one of us to go up using the stairs to check & fix the door. Also we lost our eurostar tickets and we asked kindly if we can print a copy of our tickets […] via their printer but they refused! Not very helpful staff and poor maintenance of their facilities. Its a hardwork to keep using the stairs as our room is up to the 6th floor !!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Really great for the price."
Very close to several Metro stations and Paris attractions (Moulin Rouge, Montmartre). Friendly, courteous staff. Close to a decent Carrefour, and many cafes and restaurants. Basic but serviceable room. Would recommend and would stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your comments and feedback; we sincerely appreciate it. We hope you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back to Paris in the future. Sincerely,
"Good service"
We stayed in Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre for 4 nights, the service was excellent and the staff were helpful. Breakfast was provided with different selections. The location was near underground. Overall, it was recommended.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel easy distance to everything"
Nice, clean hotel with friendly helpful staff! Easy distance to Moulin Rouge, Sacre Coeur, and very short distance to the delightful Rue Des Martyr! Pigalle metro station is also a handy one to get to attractions/into the city.. but it is an easy walk to the Champ Elysees and Louvre etc.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Migny Opera Montmartre Dear guest, We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your recent stay in Paris and we will be sure to share your kind words with our team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the very near future. Sincerely,
"pretty good location close to metro"
Poor quality of furniture, very narrow bathroom (only 60x60cm shower), during our stay of 5 days room has not been vacum cleaned nor dusted. Towels werestained, toillet not properly cleaned and full of dust. Windows were dirty, the air conditioning looked like it has not been maintained for ages. Will for sure not recommend it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awful hotel & location. Do not recommend"
Stayed at this holiday with friends for a weekend in paris. The location during the day just seemed like everything was closed and run down. When it went dark 8/9pm the whole area turned into the red light distrcit. Definate fear to be around tht area. When booking this hotel we was told we could check in early we was not allowed. We was also told the […] parking for the day is €15 which in fact was €28. The rooms were resonable for the price. I would deffinatly recommend to pay a little more and stay in a different area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very adequate hotel."
Our room was clean and welcoming - comfortable beds and modern bathroom. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Hotel is situated close to Pigalle metro therefore very easy to visit popular sights. We had a wonderful visit and wouldn't hesitate to use the hotel again or recommend it to friends and family.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to Metro and Sacre Couer"
This hotel is a 3 star hotel in every sense. The good: has elevator, close to metro/Pigalle/Sacre Couer and in an ok neighborhood. Not very touristy. We had a room with a large balcony but view was nothing to write home about. Beds were uncomfortable but clean, as was tiny bathroom. The breakfast buffet was ok. The bad: the towels! Frayed, rough, and […] gray! Seriously? Are towels really that expensive that you cant replace them?! Every time I had to dry myself I cringed! Also, the line for the buffet was ridiculous and so was the wait for coffee and food. Short story, I wouldn't stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Close to the metro sacrecure"
The hotel was clean but extremely noisy. Location was convenient. Extremely no-frills but you get what you pay for.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very expensive for what it was Very noisy at night in the hotel Breakfast very poorGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"reasonable hotel"
Luckily I stayed in a triple room. 3 beds for all by myself. Large room and plenty of space. was very comfortable. One of the front staff was so friendly and helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
"not great"
The room was on a noisy street. Mattress was very thin. A basic room and not worth the three stars or the price. 'We were booking last minute and didn't have much choice. But the area round Rue des Martyrs is great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very lucrative, a great place. Courteous service. Neat and tidy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bizarre yet conveniently located near Gare Nord"
Very small hotel with large rooms and bathrooms. Bizarre horizontal-rectangle elevator in a very old building. Loud plumbing noises after flushing. Clean, but no frills. Maintenance being done on the hotel during our stay. No English TV channels.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel in central location"
Just ideal for a short visit to Paris. Nice to stay in a traditional hotel, room of adequate size with air conditioning. Breakfast is recommended and staff very friendly. They will look after your luggage for you on departure day which was great as we had an evening flight.We just strolled down to centre of Paris about half an hour walk, didn't bother […] with metro. Also within walking distance of Sacre Coeur, about half an hour again. Would recommend hotel and stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"The card looked great, the photos turned out well, liked that there was a back and front with photos, the gold embellishment was nice. The only problem was one of our cards was returned to us, because the fourth address line wasn't printed, and another card (which also had four lines) hasn't arrived and hasn't been returned yet."
"The New Years card really took the pressure off of me to make a decision...fun to send first of the year greetings! The wreath image is so pretty!"
"The Gold Leaf Glow card design worked well with an autumn photo I took of our 2 year old son. It gave just enough framing to enhance the photo. We received many compliments on our Christmas card this year, and I did very little work! I usually do a fair amount of work in Photoshop when preparing our cards. I also usually have them printed on pearl paper. This year, we were more limited on time and budget. The matte paper far exceeded my expectations, as did the layout and printing. The only change I would make to the design is to put a faint outline within the white letters to help the words pop."
"In the past, a professional photographer has been used to photograph, design, and order our Christmas cards. This year, we tried tinyprints for the first time. The photo and paper quality was excellent! Our friends and family thought we had them professionally made as we have done in previous years. The overall cost was minimal compared to what we had paid for the professional photographer."
"As always, great quality paper, fun design and good graphics and pictures. Arrived when they said it would and I loved that I was able to get a square card and not pay the extra postage because tiny prints suggested the larger envelopes! Makes a big difference when sending out 100+."

Chicago and North Western Terminal opened in 1911. The new station on West Madison Street was enormous and expertly designed. The headhouse occupied a full city block, with the approach tracks and train sheds spanning an additional two blocks to the north. Though hemmed in on all sides by dense urban development, the entire complex nonetheless covered thirty-eight acres in total. From the beginning, the station was designed to handle 250,000 passengers and 500 trains per day, though its actual usage, even during World War II, never approached these numbers.
Today the station is the Metra Ogilvie Transportation Center.

The ceiling is a technique called "Guastavino tiling". The barrel vault of the main waiting room was done in the same technique.
Thanks for the very informative link. Too sad this technique has fallen out of fashion.

Hate to diet? Then you'll love this. Instead of counting calories or multiplying fat percentages (and tearing your hair out), try this amazingly simple concept: Look hard at your plate. Divide it into two sections; fill about half or more with vegetables and/or fruits and the remainder with roughly equal amounts of starch and a high-protein food. Then watch the weight come off. Even better, this way of eating may help prevent cancer, heart disease, and other common killers. Our reader testers dropped pounds, got fitter, and felt better after just 2 months of following this simple strategy. Now you can too.
By using your plate as a weight loss tool, you no longer have to remember confusing details about portions and servings, says Netty Levine, RD, a nutritionist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
"I recently worked with a client for an hour, hammering out a fabulous, detailed weight loss plan," recalls Levine. "When we finished, he looked up, and I could see it in his eyes: We'd both just wasted our time. He didn't want to remember all that information on servings and portions and food groups."
So Levine took out a fresh piece of paper and drew a big, round circle with a line through the middle. "This is your plate; fill the top half with fruits and vegetables, and divide the bottom half in two. In one quarter put your protein, such as meat, poultry, or fish, and in the remaining quarter put your starch, such as whole grains, potatoes, or pasta," she advised.
Four months later, that client, Bill Knapp, was 28 lb lighter and loving his plate plan. "I still go to my favorite restaurants, but now I know what to order to get the right amount of food," he says.
That's the beauty of this divided-plate concept: built-in portion control. "You fill the divided plate once. If you're still hungry, have another plate of vegetables, and then you're done. It's that simple," says Levine. And with a plate half filled with vegetables, there's no room for the megacalorie, gigantic burgers and pasta "hills" notorious for contributing to the obesity epidemic.
"Everything today is supersized, and people are confused about how much they really should eat," says Nancy Vuckovic, PhD, investigator at Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, OR. "The overweight people coming into my office are not eating a cheeseburger, they're eating supersized meals with giant burgers, mounds of fries, and huge sodas," says Levine. The divided plate strategy eliminates this problem, since there's simply not room for all that meat and starch when half the plate is filled with veggies and/or fruits. It brings out-of-control portions back down to size. And you're still eating enough food to feel full and satisfied.
