Physical Intelligence - Day 83

Actually saw that yesterday I got the date wrong again, but this now is simply a time-stamp on this particular learning journey as it reaches it's last week.  It means that I am racing rather than pacing my learning journey, so that is a good physical intelligence lesson in itself.

Today it is simply about one thing - SIZE.

The research I have read says that the same size of food placed on a smaller plate, psychologically makes us feel more full.  Even though the same amount of food is placed on a smaller plate as it is on a larger plate, the optics of it seemingly fool our brain.

Equally the bigger the plate, the more food we fill it with and so we eat more.  The psychology here being that size really matters.

Not only does this video deal with portion control but it also provides an interesting side fact that people who are distracted when they are eating, eat less than people who are not distracted and eating their food.

That would indicate that we can multi-task when we eat but when we multi-task we also run the risk of multi-choke.  This means it might be a good idea to learn how to perform the Hiemlich Maneover on your self (abdominal thrust) and that comes at the end of the next video, before that it shows me how I could possibly save a life of someone else who is choking :

When I am having breakfast as the first of the members of my house to be up, I am not usually occupied by other things that may lead to choking, but the family mean has always conversing a lot and sometimes more loudly than the average family. 

Another fitness guy says portion control is better than calorie counting and so produced a portion control guide :
