The experiment shows that your healthy eating habits in this case are baffled by the inherent sociality cheloveka



It is well known that you generally eat more if you eat with someone. But how can the weight of your companions affect how much you eat? In one study, the researchers hired a professional actress, who had put on a prosthesis simulates the weight (something like a "fat suit"), and then holding themselves some food to a group of participants. The participants then took the food itself (pasta and salad).

It turned out that when the actress was "fat suit", the participants ate more harmful food (pasta) than when the actress was not the costume. Moreover, when "thick" actress ate more salads, participants ate less salad. The authors suggest that, surrounded by overweight people we least think about preserving your health.

"The objective of this study was to examine whether the presence of companion affects overweight human eating behavior, and to determine whether the effect is mitigated depending on how many eating companion. Professional actress dined in a "fat suit" or without it, and eat a healthy diet (little pasta and lots of salad), or unhealthy (lots of pasta and a little salad). After seeing her members, men and women were asked to take a pasta and salad. The results showed that, regardless of how much and what kind of food itself took the actress, the participants ate more pasta, when she was in the "fat suit" than when it was without him. In addition, when the actress took themselves a healthy meal, the participants ate less salad when she was dressed than when the actress was not put on. These results show that people who eat large portions of unhealthy foods and smaller portions of healthy food, eat with them if people are overweight, probably because of healthy eating habits in this case, are not activated. In a more general sense, this study suggests that the figure companion for food, as well as its variety of healthy or unhealthy food affects the amount of food consumed by man ».
