Psychiatrist Dr. Oleg Gladišev points out "a simple and easy method used at the table that helps curb hunger and consume less food." In an interview with Gazeta.Ru, he states: "There is a good way to reduce the number of calories a person consumes at each meal. For example, using blue, square plates can help consume 500 fewer calories daily, as the color blue suppresses hunger and reduces appetite, providing a calming effect. The square shape holds less food compared to traditional plates." Additionally, using smaller plates and utensils helps reduce the quantity of food a person consumes. He mentions: "One should also remove all white foods from the table—white sugar, flour, white rice, white bread—as these foods contain simple carbohydrates that can stimulate appetite. It is also essential for a person to address their psychological and emotional state, resist stress, seek positives even in small things, and find a hobby that can distract them from food."
