*Size matters* I'm talking about the psychology of perception, little things rule the world and it would be good to know them. The brain estimates the amount of food even before we start eating! Using optical illusions one can influence the perception of the amount of food. Some advanced restaurants are aware of this effect, so it's a good idea for you to eat and leave more money than you originally wanted. ⠀ How does it work in terms of Food ? The larger your plate, the smaller your brain seems to eat and the more you eat. ⠀ 🍝 The more contrasting the food and the plate, the more prominent is this effect (the more contrasting the plate, the less we apply). For example, study shows that participants who choose pasta on a white plate put on 30% more than participants who choose pasta on a red plate. ⠀ 🥛 Size is also important for drinks. When poured into tall and thin glasses, the participants drink 20% less compared to low and wide glasses. The use of large spoons and forks results in a 14.5% increase in food intake. #poweredbyherbalife #wellnesscoach #nutrition #portioncontrol #perfectplate (at Brighton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJLMkf_FW7h/?igshid=17d3fw0658qzp
