Eat less by cutting food in half
Looking for ways to cut back on what you eat? Try cutting everything into smaller pieces–you may eat less.
A study found that slicing candies in half caused people to eat less of the snacks, ultimately consuming fewer calories. The research, published in the May issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Assn., put 54 college students through two scenarios: in one, 20 pieces of candy were served whole. In another, the 20 candies were cut in half. In both scenarios the test subjects busied themselves with a computer task that acted as a distraction, since snacking is often done while preoccupied. Don’t pretend you don’t do that.
Of all participants, 33 (almost all of them normal-weight women) ate some candy. During both tests people ate about the same number of pieces; in the test with smaller pieces people ate an average of 6.2 portions of candy, while in the test with larger pieces people age an average of 6.9 pieces.
Those who ate the larger pieces consumed about 60 calories more than those who ate the smaller pieces. No substantial differences were found in the groups regarding hunger, how much the test subjects liked the candies, and whether they ate candy on a regular basis.
Researchers also noted that the connection between the size of the food and how much people ate was not affected by variables such as age, food intake control, body mass index or how much time the participants spent exercising.
Future research, the authors wrote, should look at whether altering the size of food could cause men and women of all ages and BMI ranges to eat less.
Do you cut your food into smaller pieces to trick yourself into thinking you’re eating more? Do you have similar tips for cutting back on calories? Let us know.

Abdominal training
To intensify your abdominal training and avoid neck pain, try using a firm pillow behind your back. It’s an ideal way to support your back while focusing on small contractions to bring your chest toward your pelvis.
Sit on a level padded surface with a firm pillow placed behind your lower back. Bend your knees and place your feet on the floor, hip-width apart. Inhale to begin. On an exhalation, lean back slightly and press your navel toward your spine. Tuck your hips under and focus on pushing your abs firmly against the pillow. Stretch your arms forward, keeping your chest lifted and your abs contracted. Pause for two breaths.
Without releasing your abdominal contraction, inhale and slowly raise your arms until they are above your head. It’s very important to keep your navel pressed down toward the pillow and your toes pressed into the floor as you raise your arms. Pause in this position for a few seconds. Exhale and lower your arms to the start position. Repeat 12 to 15 times, then rest for 30 seconds. Do three sets.
