Another study found that children given a 16-ounce cereal bowl were more likely to have a second helping than those given a bowl half the size.
另一項研究發(fā)現,使用16盎司容量的碗吃麥片的兒童,要比使用容量只用一半的兒童更有可能吃上第二碗。
Dr Wansink told an American Psychological Association convention that in one study, people lost up to 2lb a month simply by making changes such as using salad plates rather than dinner plates, keeping unhealthy foods out of sight and not eating in front of the television.
美國心理協會的Wansink指出,在一項研究中,人們在一個月的時間里輕輕松松的減掉了兩磅的體重,他們所作的便是將用餐時的餐盤換成了更小的沙拉盤,同時拒絕不健康的食物,并且不會一邊看電視一邊吃飯。
"They just don't realize they're doing it,Our homes are filled with hidden eating traps.Most of us have too much chaos going on in our lives to consciously focus on every bite we eat, and then ask ourselves if we're full.The secret is to change your environment so it works for you rather than against you.These simple strategies are far more likely to succeed than willpower alone.It's easier to change your environment than to change your mind.People don't think that something as simple as the size of a bowl would influence how much an informed person eats." said Dr Wansink.
Wansink教授說:“他們并沒有意識到自己在這么做。我們的家中處處潛伏著各種飲食‘陷阱’。我們中的絕大多數人每天都被生活中的瑣事所困擾,以至于很難專注于每一口吃下的食物,也不會問自己是否已經吃飽了。這個秘密便是改變你的環(huán)境,而不是使之與你違背沖突。這些簡單的叫側率遠比單靠意志力更容易獲得成功。改變你周遭的環(huán)境可要比改變你心智來得容易得多。人們不會認為只需要簡單的改變一下進食時盛放食物的容器的大小便能影響到所吃掉的食物的量。”
