Is Your House Making You Fat...

I was reading this article about things I have mentioned and are the somewhat obvious like;  your serving plates are too large,  the music you play while you eat is too fast and your snack foods are always within reach.  

The one that caught my eye was this - Your drinking glasses are the wrong shape!

If your go-to glass is short and squat, it may be responsible for your similarly shaped figure. Research has shown that we end up pouring an average of 25 to 30 percent more liquid into short, wide 16-oz glasses versus tall, thin 16-oz glasses because, he says, our brains tend to over-focus on the height of objects at the expense of their width. That means when people pour drinks into tall glasses, they assume that they've reached their drink quota sooner, since they overestimate how much a tall glass can hold. So while your stumpy glasses may be perfect for guzzling down more water throughout the day, serve the sugary stuff in something else. 

Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
