A simple way to monitor their weight

The researchers gave the participants of the experiment the cylinders with them folded in a stack of potato chips. Some of them contain chips red intervals — to determine the exact number of chips in the box. Despite the fact that the volunteers did not understand the real purpose of red chips, those whom they came across, ate almost two times less than those whose box was not "colored" potatoes.



Moreover, the participants of the experiment, which had cylinders with chips of red color, it is easy to determined the amount eaten of their food, while others thought that they ate at least 13 chips smaller than it actually is.



"People already enjoy all the defined markers in order to tell yourself — enough to eat! This can be as a bottom plate and an empty box of crisps," says the Director of the laboratory "Foоd and Brаnd" Brian Vansink. The introduction of mandatory colored markers — for example, colored chips in a box — will give people the opportunity not to eat too much and carefully monitor their weight.So you need to use colored markers that are already in different types of food.
