People who eat more slowly tend to be thinner. We've heard that one for a long time and now there's some proof it works.
Eating your dinner blindfolded may be the key to gaining control over your portion sizes. Now don't worry I'm not talking every night, just one meal
Supposedly blocking vision wakes up those taste buds, results in smaller bites and a savory, slower meal. I can understand the smaller bites, it has to be harder to quickly stuff your face when you can't see that fork or spoon. Cutting your food and simply figuring out what pile is what on the plate takes time, too. Studies show blindfolded eaters listen to their satiety cues better and stop eating before they're full, and a 2003 Swedish study revealed blindfolded eaters ate 24 percent less food than visual eaters without feeling less full. As annoying (or humorous) as this will be , I'll blindfold myself for dinner once this week and see how it goes. Would you try a blindfold diet?
