According to several studies, small changes in your kitchen can help you resist big temptations.
1. Clean up
People with clutter in the kitchen eat 44 percent more snacks than people whose kitchen is spic and span. Place the bag of oatmeal neatly in the cupboard and leave only the fruit bowl in sight.
2. Seeing is eating
Fruit and vegetables at eye level in the refrigerator encourage you to eat healthy. Place pre-cut vegetables and fruit in transparent containers or bags on the middle shelf, and 'hide' cheese, sausage and less healthy snacks in the vegetable drawers on the bottom.
3. Scoop up in the kitchen Fill the plates while you're still in the kitchen and leave the pans on the stove. People who serve at the table eat more and are on average four kilos heavier than kitchen show-stoppers.
4. Small but nice If you eat from a large plate, you eat more without noticing. And if you fill such a large plate, there is a good chance that you will eat more than is necessary to satisfy your hunger. It seems that by eating from a smaller plate you get up to 29 percent fewer calories without feeling hungry afterwards.
