An average
person makes over 200 decisions about food on a daily basis. Clients overeat
for a number of reasons, and not because they’re hungry. Have you ever stopped

psychologist Dr. Wansink sure did and he proved it with numerous studies at CornellUniversity. Take, for instance, his
experiment with stale popcorn at a movie theater in Chicago on a Saturday matinee. Most people
who came to this show had already eaten lunch. Every person who bought a ticket
was given a free soda and either a medium- or large-sized bucket of popcorn.
An interesting fact: The popcorn was extremely stale, as it had been popped
five days earlier! Once the movie ended, everyone was asked to fill out a
survey.
Those who
got the larger bucket had to reply to: “Do you think you ate more because you
had the larger size?” Most replied, “Of course not!” Yet when weighing the
big-bucket group, these had consumed an average of 173 more calories of stale
popcorn. They ate due to the cues that surrounded them: people, the movies,
emotions brought on by being in the movies, sounds and smells; the bucket size
made no difference. This study was repeated in different cities throughout the
nation, always with the same results.

Portion control. Being an engineer, I thought I could eyeball 30 gram servings... I bought a small, food scale from amazon for $20; most of my "portions" were easily 1.5-2.5 servings
