Mindless Eating

After listening to the book Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think by Brian Wansink, I have stopped counting every single calorie I eat.  Instead I am following some of the advice from the book.  

All of the following tips help you eat less:

- A lack of variety in foods 

- Only 2 foods on plate at a time

- Smaller dishes

- Tablescape (mini size boxes or bowls)

- Use tall thin glasses

- Make healthy foods easy to see

- Make unhealthy food harder to see

- Make unhealthy foods inconvenient

- Don't keep any foods out on your desk. Keep foods away from your desk. 

- Dim lights when eating
