Overweight people eat more than they think

Date:

Wellington: According to the book ‘Mindless Eating’ overweight people underestimate what they eat by more than 50%. Brian Wansink from Cornell University, writes in his book that even individuals with normal weight underestimate their food intake by about 20%.

Wasink has conducted many experiments showing that people can easily be fooled into consuming more than they believe they have eaten. He said there are many factors at play which conspire against us, asserting that “portion creep” is one of them.“Portion creep” is a term that describes the upsizing of portion sizes of food over the years. However, research shows that there can be huge variation in what a portion is.
