Don’t Clear that Table!

Keeping your dirty dishes in sight may help you eat less.  You have heard the saying, ” your eyes are bigger than your stomach.”  It turns out the reverse may be true.
In a study, researchers offered free chicken wings to 52 grad students.  The wait staff was instructed to clear the dishes at only half the tables.  People whose tables were piled with dishes ate 27 percent less than those whose tables were continually cleared-suggesting that watching what you eat can help you consume less.  Interestingly, the students who ate more didn’t think the clean table had any influence, they thought they ate more because they were still hungry.
