Dr Brian Wansink is a leading behavioural economist, food psychologist, bestselling author and Director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University.
On this episode of the Food For Fitness Podcast, Brian shares some unique insights from his latest book – Slim By Design – that will make it easy for you to eat healthier-without even noticing that you’re making changes! Brian explains that the easiest, quickest, and most natural way to reverse weight gain is to work with human nature, not against it.
He believes the best way to lose weight isn't to tell people what to do; it's to change their living environments so it becomes mindlessly easy for people to eat healthier.
In this episode, Brian shares some incredibly insightful findings from his lab. For example, did you know that serving your food from the stove away from the dining table will prompt you to eat 19% less food! Or that a person who has breakfast cereal sitting on the worktop on average weighs 21 pounds more than their neighbour who doesn’t? Or that a messy kitchen causes you to snack 44% more often!
It doesn’t get better at work either, Brian explains that people who have snacks in or on the desk reported weighing 15.4 pounds more than those who didn’t. This is an incredibly interesting podcast episode that will make a huge difference to how you set up your home and workplace to help you lose weight! .
