  'Most of us have too much chaos going on in our lives to consciously focus on every bite we eat, and then ask ourselves if we're full.

  “我们中的绝大多数人每天都被生活中的琐事所困扰,以至于很难专注于每一口吃下的食物,也不会问自己是否已经吃饱了。”

  'The secret is to change your environment so it works for you rather than against you.

  “这个秘密便是改变你的环境,而不是使之与你违背冲突。”

  'These simple strategies are far more likely to succeed than willpower alone.

  “这些简单的叫侧率远比单靠意志力更容易获得成功。”

  'It's easier to change your environment than to change your mind.

  “改变你周遭的环境可要比改变你心智来得容易得多。”

  'People don't think that something as simple as the size of a bowl would influence how much an informed person eats.'

  “人们不会认为只需要简单的改变一下进食时盛放食物的容器的大小便能影响到所吃掉的食物的量。”

  Dr Wansink, of America's Cornell university, said that people had the mistaken belief that their stomach would let them know when it was full.

  美国康奈尔大学的Wansink教授说,因为误以为会从胃部获得是否吃饱了的信号。

  But in one experiment, diners giving a 'bottomless bowl' which automatically refilled with soup, ate 73 per cent more than those given normal bowls - and didn't even realise it.

  不过在一项实验中,使用“不见底”的碗喝汤的人在且安全没有意识到的情况下,会比使用正常大小碗的人多喝掉近73的汤。

  Dr Wansink said: 'The lesson is, don't rely on your stomach to tell you when you're full.

  Wansink说:“关键是,不要相信你的胃告诉你是否吃饱了。”

  It can lie.

  “它可是会骗人的。”
