Books like Mindless Eating by Brian Wansink


In *Mindless Eating*, food psychologist Brian Wansink explains why people often consume more than they realize, how brand names, plate size, ambient factors, and packaging shape our eating behavior, and why many diets fail. Drawing on experiments such as the "bottomless soup bowl," Wansink shows how subconscious cues influence portion sizes, speed of eating, and food preferences. He illustrates how restaurants and supermarkets use these persuaders, and provides evidence‑based techniques to recognize and counteract them, turning the "mindless margin" into a tool for weight loss and healthier choices at home, work, or in any setting.
