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.

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