Big isn't better

Eating a large portion does not make you feel more satisfied than eating a small one. That's good news isn't it. So if you eat a smaller portion, you won't physically feel any less content. This research was carried out at Penn State University. They also show that people eat more if they are given a larger portion. Indeed, most of us will eat what is put in front of us. (We do it on an aeroplane, and we do it at home as well!)



So it means that if you serve yourself a smaller portion, you will feel fine. The easiest way to do this is to use a smaller plate. That way you can deceive your eyes about the size of the portion. When your eyes see a full plate, all of you feels that you are not being short-changed.

A normal-sized portion looks pretty mean and disappointing on one of the huge plates we now seem to use for our meals. The same sized portion on a smaller plate looks fine. This is because of the Delboeuf Illusion.

Hypnotherapy will help you to make regular changes to your eating patterns, so that you automatically eat in a healthier way, without having to think about food all the time.
