You can of course take a gastric balloon, but losing weight can now be done much more subtly.
Small bites
That we eat not only with our mouth but also with our eyes. may be known by now. But the fact that your nose also plays an important role has now been scientifically proven.
Research by the University of Wageningen shows that the stronger the smell of our food, the smaller bites we take. Because we are more satisfied with smaller snacks, that can help if you want to lose weight.
Not tasty
The odor perception of food is related to the ingredients, the structure, but also to the size of the snacks. Small bites also release less aroma from the food at the same time. That explains why we take smaller bites of unfamiliar foods or foods that we don't like.
Extra Fragrance
The participants in the study were given custard. At the same time, scents from the custard were introduced directly into the nose. The test subjects were able to determine themselves how much custard they had to eat at the push of a button. The researchers hypothesize that by adding extra fragrance, food intake can be reduced by five to ten percent. They think that can help control your own weight.
