Culprits of weight gain

So, have you gained a few pounds lately, and don't know how? Here are some likely culprits:

The newer, trendy bigger utensils. According to food researcher, Dr. James Painter, people who ate with smaller forks and spoons tend to feel more satisfied after one serving than people who ate with the bigger utensils.

A neat, tidy table! Leave all empty dishes on the table until cleanup time. Studies show that people eat 27% more food when their dishes are cleared, because they don't have that visual score card of how much they've eaten.

A big menu- menus with 2 or more panels take longer to read. The longer you look at the choices, the more food you're likely to order and to eat!
