The study found that people eat less if they offer a few small pieces of some kind of food, rather than one big piece. It is not clear why this happens, but scientists believe it may be caused by an optical illusion. Our brain is misled when broken down into a set of pieces of a chocolate bar, believing that to him much more of this delicacy than a whole tile. This method can be used to get rid of overweight .
The same effect is achieved and the acquisition of other sweets, like cakes. Cut yourself some small pieces, and they will be filled more quickly than a large one. This conclusion was reached at the time of observation of 300 college students who were fed bagels.
Some young people were given a bagel, cut into four parts, and the others received one-piece. After 20 minutes, all students are encouraged to supplement, and they could eat as much as they needed for the feeling of satiety. Get a bagel cut into pieces the students were filled much faster and with fewer calories than those who were fed bagels in one piece.
Another explanation for this is the fact that the food is chopped into pieces chewed longer. And during this time our body is more time to feel full. By the way, which is why nutritionists recommend that people with overweight eat slowly, because in a hurry, we often swallow too much. Experiments have proved, not only in humans but also in rats.
