How to Trick Your Brain into Eating Less?
Pop Quiz: Which sandwich is bigger?...I have the answer for you later.
It takes twenty minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that it's full.
The result is overeating, weight gain and millions of failed diets.
But there's an easy solution.
How can you trick your brain into eating less?
In this experiment, both guys are told to keep eating and stop only when they're full.
One of them doesn't know it's a never-ending bowl!
Alright guys, how we holding up?
I'm done.
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on, but…
Well, you were eating out of this.
But you, have a little surprise for you.
You were eating out of this.
Yeah so, it may sound silly but tricking your eyes can actually trick your brain and then
your stomach.
Why did this guy ended up eating 75 percent more?
When we eat, our intestines release cholecystokinin,
which triggers the release of another hormone leptin.
Leptin helps makes us feel full.
But this process takes time.
So, we keep eating without realizing that we're full.
So, we also rely on our eyes to tell us when to stop.
But looks can be deceiving.
So, what about our sandwich…
Did you say the one on the right is bigger?
Both are actually the same size!
The trick is known as the Delboeuf Illusion.
An object in a smaller circle
looks bigger than the same one in a larger circle.
So, the bigger your plate, the smaller your food looks and the more you'll pile on.
So, beware how your dinner is served later!
