| A study was done in Sweden regarding human | | | | blindfolded. So the interesting thing about |
| eating behaviour and what was found from this | | | | this is it tells you how that if you eat with |
| was very quite interesting, it would seem | | | | your eyes rather than your stomach then |
| that most of us eat with our eyes instead of | | | | you're more likely to gain weight. |
| instead of our stomachs so what does this | | | | |
| actually mean then. | | | | If you actually think about this and what is |
| | | | actually happening it seems that when food is |
| Well it would seem that some of the reasons | | | | put on a plate in front of us no matter how |
| why people become overweight in the first | | | | much there is on the plate we are programmed |
| place is merely how they are eating rather | | | | to eat what is on the plate, I have got some |
| than what they are eating, some people might | | | | theories about how this works the food is on |
| know this and some people may not, that on | | | | the plate and is more or less saying to us |
| average a man say for instance only needs | | | | eat me eat me eat me, it's crying out so this |
| 2550 calories per day, so it will probably | | | | is what we tend to do, eat all the food that |
| easy to see how easy it would to be to eat | | | | is on the plate, but think about this for a |
| over that amount I mean how many of us | | | | minute what if you ate more slowly so that |
| actually write-down in calorific notes how | | | | the time taken for your stomach to give the |
| much we eat, I would say 90% of us don't take | | | | full signal then you would eat less food |
| any notes at all about what we eat. | | | | surely, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes for |
| | | | your stomach to give your brain the full |
| Now the study that was done on obese people | | | | signal, which can give you plenty of time to |
| found something out quite interesting what | | | | eat lots of food so the thing is to chew your |
| they noticed was when people are blindfolded, | | | | food eat it slower and hence eat less and |
| they ate 22% less food than if they were | | | | hopefully lose weight. |
