Your Body Affirmation

This image is such a great affirmation to use, I just really wanted to share it with you today:

"My Body is like canvas
Motivation is my brush
I control every curve
and make no excuses
I turn heads
and hold my head high
I have no bad angles
I am confident in every light
I break limitations
quitting is not an option"

I really felt this was a powerful and motivating affirmation to repeat to yourself over and over to get you in the right frame of mind to lose weight and take control of your body.

From a Bowl not a Packet

In an earlier post we mentioned, the Sherlock Holmes of Food, Brian Wansink in this post we have another of his interesting food studies.

Brian studied to see the if eating from a bowl changed the eating habit in comparison to eating from the packet.

The results were very interesting and powerful as he states that we eat 20 to 30 % more when we eat from the packet and the bigger the packet the more we are likely to eat.

The theory goes that we should see what we are eating, Wansink put it like this:

"Always portion food out into a dish so you must face exactly how much you'll eat."

When I think about packaging design, it is all fully covered so we can not see what is inside, I wonder if this the psychology to make us eat more?

Take care.

Soup Portion Control Experiment

 Brian Wansink who has been called the Sherlock Holmes of food carried out a study which we call 'Soup Portion Control'. What he proved was that at our eyes are indeed bigger than our stomachs. He did this by giving 60 people a bowl of soup, half the people had a normal bowl of soup. the other half had a special bowl designed to refill itself with out them knowing.

The purpose of the study was to see if we listened our body and it's message that we have had enough food or do we listen to the bowl or plate. The answer was clear from the results when the group with the self filling bowl group ate a staggering 73% more than the people with a normal bowl.

This clearly shows the power of mindful eating and listening to your body and following the Hara Hachi Bu model of stop eating when you are 80% full because your stomach takes around 20 minutes to register as full.

I hope you found this interesting and helpful and I believe that if you use the mindful eating method it will help you loads with your weight loss.
