Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life

Dieting is hard. There are so many little things to remember and so many bad habits to break. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would come up with ideas to simplify losing weight and make it easier? Well, someone has. Brian Wansink, a behavioral psychologist, suggests people can design their way out of bad eating habits and lose weight without really thinking about it. This is the man who came up with the idea of 100-calorie snack packs that are being widely sold. He convinced food executives they could make more by selling less and along the way make it easier for folks to lose weight. Now he has a blueprint for success through redesigning home kitchens, restaurants, grocery stores, workplaces, and even school lunchrooms. He explains what kind of refrigerator is best, what color the kitchen should be to shorten your stay, what size and color your dishes should be, where to serve food, and more. Everything is backed up with solid research. The best part is this book is written so well it is fun and interesting to read, all the while teaching important, life-changing lessons most people would love to learn. Don’t miss this one.
