So what’s mindless eating?
MIndless eatingi is when external cues influence how much we eat.You pour more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass. You eat 92 percent of anything you serve yourself. You eat 20 percent more food served family style rather than left on a side counter. People eating with one other person eat 30 to 35 percent more than they otherwise would. Having a snack within arm’s reach doubles how much of it you eat.
