I really enjoyed reading this book. The author has conducted lots of experiments on how we are fooled by marketing and our own brains into eating more than we should. Serving size, plate size, variety of foods, color variety, and even language can affect the amount of food we eat and how satisfied or dissatisfied we feel. At the very least, an awareness of these things should help a little towards controlling the volume of food that we mindlessly put into our mouths.
His advice toward dieting is sound, but a little too slow moving for me. If I was only a little heavy or if I was trying to maintain, his tips would be more relevant. Once I'm back on regular food, I will definitely try to use some of his ideas to keep the weight off.
