In his book "Crazy food" Cornell University Professor Brian Uonsink explores the psychological mechanisms that make people overeat. The human stomach insufficiently sensitive to see a small difference in the number of calories, and often do not keep a record number eaten earlier than 20 minutes after meals. So people are deciding, it is surely time to stop them there, accustomed to rely on eyesight, hearing and sense of smell. And as a result often pereedayut.
In particular, large plates forced people to have more.
Here are five tips from Professor Uonsinka how to avoid overfeeding.
1. Cover biscuits and put to the forefront of carrots.
We eat what we see. If every time, opening refrigerator, you upiraetes eyes in a bottle of mineral water, you are going to worry about mineralke and drink it more often. So keep all sweets away, and carrots and celery in the top refrigerator shelf, where you will see them.
2. The same applies to work.
If you are the candy for the visitors, the way they are in opaque containers. In one experiment Uonsink and his colleague Jim Palmer found that the secretary who sat next to transparent vases with sweetmeat Hershey's Kisses, eating at 71% (and 77 calories per day) more than those who sat next to the same, but white ceramic containers. For the year, said Uonsink, transparent vase will cost you a few pounds of excess weight.
3. Convenience leads to consumption.
The more food to eat, the more you sedite it, even if the difference is seconds. Therefore, when you pass carrots and celery on the top shelf, first wash them and porezhte-so you sedite them more. And keep away from packages with krekerami and pechenyami which conveniently opened it, they do vysokokaloriyny perekus too easy. Leaving a package on a shelf, you are bound to predadites chrevougodiyu.
4. Not Dispose of evidence.
In another experiment Uonsinka people ate more chicken winglets, if bone removed immediately. When bones are on the table, in front of the pull-visible reminder of how much they already ate. It also explains the phenomenon bezdonnoy plates when the plates with tomato soup, which smuggled napolnyali through the tube under the table, people ate up much more than the normal ones, where soup disappeared. People are watching how many remained in pointing to assess how much they already ate.
5. Use your eyesight.
If your stomach is unable to track the number of calories, you need to rely mainly on their eyes. The longer they look, the less you have sedite. The soup so useful : the amount of fluid in it, gives people a sense of saturation at the moment when they are really enough, but not when eaten hundreds of calories more.
