REVIEW: "Mindless Eating" by Brian Wansink

Title: "Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think"
Author: Brian Wansink, Ph.D.
Pages: n/a
Diety?: somewhat
Promotes IE?: yes
My Rating: 4.5****

There are 'hidden persuaders' in our lives that cause us to eat more than we think. These can be: labelling, sounds, lighting, package sizes, etc.

Wansink suggests that we can lose 10-30 pounds within a year by making just one to three 100-calorie changes a day to our eating habits and environment. These changes are small enough that our bodies don't really even notice that we've made them, but they supposedly work wonders!

A good book, with lots of interesting stories about the studies done in Wansink's lab. :o)


Highly recommended.

Do you have suggestions of books you'd like to see reviewed here?

If so, please contact me here.

I cannot make any promises, as I often rely heavily on my local library for the books I read. If they don't have it, I probably can't read and review it. But, I will do my best!

Thank you!
