In the recent years, researchers of Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab are studying how environmental factors influence many Americans to unnoticeably eat too much. Many people wrongly believe that factors like hunger or boredom and depression are the main causes for overeating, but their research has shown otherwise. It is thought that we overeat if the food is good or if we're really hungry. In reality, those are two of the last things that determine how much we eat.
In one experiment, the researcher placed jars of candies in workers' offices for a month. Then, he moved the candies 1. 8 m away. The office workers ate five more candies each day when the jar was closer to them, equaling an additional 125 calories a day. It does not sound too bad, but add that up over a year and you will have gained 5. 4 kg. "If something is visible, every time we see it, we have to make a decision:to eat it or not?" the researcher explained.
In the other experiment, moviegoers were given five-day-old popcorn, some in medium-size buckets, some in large buckets. The researcher found that moviegoers who had the larger buckets ate 53 percent more, despite its unpleasant taste. He believed that the distraction of the movie and hearing others eat the popcorn persuaded people to keep eating.
The findings in other researches have shown that we tend to eat more when we use larger dishes, eat in front of the television, or dine with someone who eats a lot. Researchers of the lab advise a gradual approach to changing eating habits. People can cut a couple of hundred calories a day by doing things such as avoiding open food dishes at the office, using smaller serving bowls, sitting next to the slowest eater and being the last one to start eating.
Being a parent is already a life-changing experience. However, this 40-year-old dad 1 an astonishing transformation(转变) after a hike with his kids.
Before Jeremiah Peterson looked like a supermodel, he weighed 290 pounds. He was only 2 to lose weight after he went on a hike with his family in 2017 and 3 how quickly he was tired out from the activity.
"Instead of remembering all the good 4 we had made on this trip, all I can 5 is one thing that kept playing in my head over and over again:I found myself running out of breath and having to take 6 on the way before my kids, " Peterson wrote online.
The dad then was 7 to get into shape.
He started by giving up drinking and 8 a ketogenic diet(生酮食法). Besides, he started 9 regularly. For five months, he would hike for two hours and spend one hour at the gym every single day.
After 150 days of a strict diet and lots of 10, Peterson lost 92 pounds. Not only that, he can now run non-stop up the hiking trail that once made him 11 exhausted.
Peterson now uses his story and fitness expertise(专门技能) to coach and 12 almost 100, 000 social media followers—but he says that his kids are the real 13 for his success.
"Find your reason that is 14 if you want to achieve success in life, " he wrote in an post. "If you don't have a strong reason behind your 15 you are less likely to get the results. "
If your phone needs a software upgrade(升级), you would likely run the installation(安装) when it's (full) charged. Otherwise, your phone and its software would take longer to synchronize(同步).
A new study found human energy systems operate in similar pattern. Our metabolism(新陈代谢) likely functions best in the morning our bodies are fresh and fully charged. The research, based on a seven-year dietary analysis of 50, 000 adults, found that the body weight, measured by body mass index(体重指数) (BMI), (match) when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast(禁食), have the (low) body weights. Those who eat more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, have higher BMIs. Those who eat later in the day, after 6 p. m. , (compare) to those having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, have higher body weights.
The Loma Linda University, researchers found that 18-to-19 hour overnight fasts reboot(重启) our metabolism (help) our bodies burn calories. So, depending your goals and health status, you may consider rearranging your meals so you can consume more calories in the morning when the insulin(胰岛素) function is most efficient.
As Kahleova said, the ancient advice—eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar—has new science behind .
