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.
另一项研究发现,使用16盎司容量的碗吃麦片的儿童,要比使用容量只用一半的儿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.
美国心理协会的Wansink指出,在一项研究中,人们在一个月的时间里轻轻松松的减掉了两磅的体重,他们所作的便是将用餐时的餐盘换成了更小的沙拉盘,同时拒绝不健康的食物,并且不会一边看电视一边吃饭。
"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教授说:“他们并没有意识到自己在这么做。我们的家中处处潜伏着各种饮食‘陷阱’。我们中的绝大多数人每天都被生活中的琐事所困扰,以至于很难专注于每一口吃下的食物,也不会问自己是否已经吃饱了。这个秘密便是改变你的环境,而不是使之与你违背冲突。这些简单的叫侧率远比单靠意志力更容易获得成功。改变你周遭的环境可要比改变你心智来得容易得多。人们不会认为只需要简单的改变一下进食时盛放食物的容器的大小便能影响到所吃掉的食物的量。”
