Recently, I read Brian Wansink’s book called Mindless Eating and was immediately captivated. It is an in depth look into understanding why and what we eat. I will be pointing out specific examples in this blog, which are spoilers so be warned!
These are some of the themes mentioned in the book that apply to my life:
-
Seeing food=Eating more
Whenever snacks are more visible you eat more. I used to have all the snacks lying around especially during the college days. I would eat candy or whatever was in my sight. It was easy to get to and convenient, which was the problem. Once I stored them, my volume for eating greatly decreased. I still get to enjoy my snacks, but I don’t overeat.
