Trick your mind and eat less!!

Various studies have reviled that the crockery you put your food on impacts how much you eat. Scientists have found that when subjects ate off red plates, they tended to eat less than when eating from plates of any other colour. So if you tend to struggle with portion size and portion control try this little trick at home, it may just work for you too.

DISCLAIMER: Just as the crockery can have an impact on your portion control what you actually put on the plate is more important, stick to a healthy diet but experiment and see for yourself if red crockery really does make you eat less.
