今年過年不想再大魚大肉?以下10個小撇步讓你過年減輕負擔！
1.改用小盤子裝食物
These plates contain same amount of food
左右兩盤的食物份量是一樣的
But the portion looks much bigger on the smaller plate
但是小的那一盤看起來卻比較多
So replace large plates with smaller ones and you’ll end up eating less
所以用小盤子裝感覺上吃很多就會少吃一點
2.不要用慣用手吃東西
Don’t reach for snacks using your dominant hand
不要用慣用手拿點心來吃
Instead, use your non-dominant hand and you’ll end up eating about 20% less
相反地，用不是慣用的那手來拿就會少吃20%的東西
3.用高腳杯來喝東西
Short wide glasses look like they contain same amount of liquid as the tall thin one
矮胖的杯子看起來和瘦高的杯子裝一樣多
But that’s an illusion. Actually, they hold far more
但那可是個錯覺，實際上矮胖杯裝的可是多出很多
To cut down on drinking, use a tall thin glass
要想少喝點，就用高腳杯吧！
4.廚房裡放一面鏡子
Then there is the power of mirrors
接下來要告訴你鏡子的魔力在哪裡
In one experiment psychologist Brad Bushman
心理學家Brad Bushman做了一個實驗
Hi, there. I’m Brad Bushman
大家好，我是Brad Bushman
Place both healthy and un healthy food on a table and asked people to snack away
將健康與不健康的食物各一盤放在桌上，接著讓大家來取用
When he placed a mirror behind the food, they became more self-conscious and ate more healthily
在食物後面放置一面鏡子，拿的人會下意識選擇健康的那一盤
So try placing a mirror in your kitchen or on the refrigerator
所以試著在廚房或冰箱門上擺一面鏡子看看
5.餓了就嚼口香糖吧
You consume fewer calories each day if you chew gum when you feel hungry
餓的時候嚼口香糖每天就會少攝取一些卡路里
And go for fruit flavored gum because mint flavor makes some healthy food taste strange
記得要選水果口味的，不然選薄荷的會讓有些健康食物吃起來怪怪的
6.吃慢一點
People eat quickly consume more
吃越快就吃越多
To eat less, just slow down or perhaps put your fork or spoon down between each bites
想要少吃一點就放慢速度或者每吃一口就把叉子或湯匙放下來
7.使用紅色碗盤
Research shows that people eat fewer snacks when they’re served on red plates
研究顯示當人們使用紅色盤子時會吃比較少
Perhaps because red is associated with stop
也許紅色讓人想到「停止」
Either way when you have the choice go for red plates and bowls
所以有得選的時候就用紅色碗盤吧
8.用餐時關掉電視
You eat more when you watch television and so simply turning off your TV at meal times means you consume up to 50% less
邊吃東西邊看電視會吃比較多，所以用餐時關掉電視就能避免50%的食物吃進肚子裡
9.把垃圾食物拍下來
Just taking a photograph of all of the unhealthy food that you eat
把所有你在吃的垃圾食物全拍下來
Will help you cut down on unhealthy eating by around a third
這樣一來會讓你少吃1/3的垃圾食物
10.吃的東西不要太多種類
Whenever we see lots of different varieties of food
不論我們什麼時候看到很多不一樣的食物
We’re tempted to try some of each
我們總想要每樣都吃吃看
To eat less, serve the same amount of food, but cut down on the variety
要想少吃一點，可以維持份量，但是減少食物種類
看完一起跟小編來讓肚子羊眉吐氣吧！:)
