Big Spoon or Little Spoon… Which One Makes You Eat Less?

November 26, 2010

Sorry, not that kind of spooning…

This is a great way to make a change to your environment once and reap the benefits forever.

The size of the utensils we use to eat plays a major role in how much we eat.

Research has shown that we eat less if we are eating from a smaller bowl, and using a small spoon. The numbers tell us that we serve ourselves 30-50% less food using a small serving utensil and a small vessel.

This difference is massive. Eating half the amount of food can have a considerable effect on the bottom line.
