Celebrity diets and fitness - Can the color of your plate affect how much food you eat from it?

That is one helpful tip for eating from Kelly Osbourne, the UK beauty says she has lost weight by eating food that a different color to her plate.

The 27-year-old presenter - who has gained and lost weight a number of times in the past - is now maintaining a svelte figure by trying out a new eating technique, as eating from a plate the same color as your food is believed to increase what you eat by 20 percent.

A source told Now magazine: ''Five months after Kelly started the plan the results are there for all to see. She thinks it's amazing - she takes her plates everywhere. Unlike other fads, Kelly says this diet does help you lose weight and keep it off.''

Kelly has become so small - losing 60 lbs in two years - recently she has been able to wear T-shirts designed for children.

She said: ''People have this idea that I'm large and they don't realize I am 5ft 2in and a UK size 6-8. I go to GAP Kids for T-shirts.

''I've done all the faddy diets and none of them work. On one, I had to drink this diet shake for a week it promised I'd lose 10 lbs but I just felt sick.''
