Fork For Food Control
All of us know that the mind is indeed a powerful thing. It’s so powerful, a disturbed or stressed out mind can easily affect our physical being. On the other hand, a healthy mind can also have a positive impact on our physical or overall 
well-being. It can go either way. But of course, everybody in their right would prefer the latter than the former.
That is why when embarking on a diet, many people would have to first change and have that appropriate mindset to ensure that they do indeed meet their weight loss goals. There are many ways when it comes to weight loss, but the most important thing is for you to believe and practice the right ways.
You see, there are many foods that we can simply live without. If you eliminate all the unhealthy and sugar-ladened drinks like sodas, ice cream, chocolate cake, butter cookies, candies…..(etc, etc) you will still be able to survive.
The body doesn’t need those kinds of foods. But it just tastes so good that our mind is telling us that we simply can’t live without it. And if you believe it to be so, then just think about back in those days (way way back), where our ancestors do not have these kinds of processed foods in their diet and they still survived. (And they were probably in much better shape than the most of us are in now.)
Okay, back to current times. So, what interesting find have the researchers come up this time to help us fight a disease that has plagued modern-era humans? What can they do to help us find against the rapid rise of obesity?
What was their most interesting and latest find?
By using………bigger forks.
A study was carried out in a restaurant with 2 different groups. Both groups were served similar portioned meals. The only difference were the size of the utensils they were using to eat. One group used regular sized forks and the other group had to use forks which were significantly larger.
Surprisingly, the group that were using the bigger forks consumed less food overall from their plate.
Apparently, by using bigger forks, your mind thinks that you are feeding yourself a lot at a time. And that you are fast approaching that “full” threshold faster.
And when you use smaller forks, your mind tells you that it is still has a long way to go before those amounts can start having an actual impact your weight loss. Therefore your mind tells you that you got nothing to worry about so soon.
This is certainly an interesting find. So does this mean BIGGER BITES equates to LESS eating?
Or because the old golden rule still holds true?
That by chewing your food properly, you are giving your brain the time to tell you that its full. And by putting in a bigger portion of food in your mouth at a time, it naturally means you have to chew longer.
Nevertheless, I might try out this method for myself one day. And if I do, I will be sure to post my findings and verdict on this site.
