Eat off your feet

Friday, October 3, 2008

Before scarfing a quick bite, grab a chair. People who snack while sitting at a set table eat fewer calories at their next meal than people who snack on the go. According to the Canadian researcher they serve identical portion of soup and crackers, a sandwich, a fruit and yogurt to 64 adults, who ate while standing at a counter. Those who were seated consumed a third less when they returned for dinner. All the trappings of a formal meal make you think you’re eating more than you actually are, increasing your satiety levels.
