Take care who you sit next to!

Without realising it, our eating is affected by the person we sit next to.

If it is a really fat person, then we will eat a bit less than them. Their weight serves as a warning to us. But if we sit next to a skinny with a huge portion, then we automatically, without thinking, get the idea that it is okay to pile on the food. This research is from the University of Chicago. Click here for a Youtube of an actress in a fat suit affecting the portions taken by students in a cafeteria.

We are affected by all sorts of cues when it comes to eating. Knowing what triggers your eating will help a lot!
