(Science Daily) Dieters may not need as much willpower as they think, if they make simple changes in their surroundings that can result in eating healthier without a second thought, said a consumer psychologist..
"Our homes are filled with hidden eating traps," said Brian Wansink, PhD…
One of his studies showed that people lost up to two pounds a month after making several simple changes in their environment, including:
· eating off salad plates instead of large dinner plates.
· keeping unhealthy foods out of immediate line of sight and moving healthier foods to eye-level in the cupboard and refrigerator.
· eating in the kitchen or dining room, not in front of the television.
"These simple strategies are far more likely to succeed than willpower alone. It's easier to change your environment than to change your mind," Wansink concluded.
