A Simple Method to Help Eat Less Food

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."
