1. The surrounding environment and personal habits will provide wrong dietary cues and make people eat more unconsciously.
Just like in the cinema, with the ** of the film, the popcorn in the hand is also inadvertently decreasing little by little. Our appetites don't seem to be driven by hunger, but more by our surroundings. When everyone around us is enjoying the food, we will also unconsciously join in and taste the taste. However, people often lack accurate estimates of how much food they are eating. The stomach doesn't seem to be sensitive to the amount of food, and we rely more on our eyes to judge how much we've eaten.
When faced with large packages, or a wide variety of delicacies, it's easy to eat more. Tableware such as subs and bowls will also make us unconsciously consume more food. Even the shape of the glass can affect how much we drink, with a thick glass being more difficult to control than an elongated one.
It can be seen that eating traps are ubiquitous in our daily lives, silently affecting our eating habits and intake.
Second, in addition to their own reasons, merchants will also use various marketing strategies to make people buy more and eat more.
The environment of a restaurant has a non-negligible impact on how much people eat. When the environment is too soothing and warm, people tend to immerse themselves in it and unconsciously extend their meal times to consume more food. Conversely, if the environment is too noisy, people may want to end their meal as soon as possible to get out of the noisy environment, but rapid eating often leads to excessive intake as well.
In addition, the clever manipulation of food labels by merchants can also have an impact on our appetite. They may use wordplay or labeling such as "healthy and low-fat" to give consumers the illusion that people will have a favorable opinion of these foods and tend to eat more. These labels and descriptions invisibly guide our choices and make us unknowingly consume more food.
3. Change your living habits, recognize the eating traps, and unconsciously reduce your intake to be relaxed.
Fine-tuning your lifestyle doesn't take much at first, because the simpler the change, the easier it is to achieve. Even if you only correct one bad habit, you can lose 4 kg over the years. A more proactive approach lies in food substitution and moderation. If you want to taste dessert, it is best to eat it after lunch; For each popcorn**, only half of the amount is satisfied. These methods of self-control are born out of a passion for change within the heart.
