相信不少人都拥有好的身材，尤其是对女孩子来讲，所谓一胖毁所有，也正因如此，我看到有很多女孩甚至疯狂到一天到晚只喝水不吃饭。其实这样的做法对身体不但没有好处，效果也是甚微。

关于减肥，健康的做法相信大家都耳熟能详，管住嘴，迈开腿。可对吃货来讲，管住嘴可是件要命的事。如何能不费力的管住嘴呢？这就是今天要跟大家分享的关于减肥的7个实用心理学小技巧！

1-EAT IN A SMALLER PLATE- Thequantity of food in both the plates is same. However, when we eat in a smaller plate our eyes trick our brain into thinking that we are having more food. While eating in a larger plate, we tend to pile up more food to fill the plate.

在选餐盘时，尽量选用小一点的餐盘。因为这样，在同等量的食物下，我们的大脑会觉得小盘装的很满了，这样能自动让我们吃的少一点而且还有满足感。

2- CONTRAST THE COLOR OF YOUR PLATE AND FOOD - You may end up eating 25 percent more if you choose the red plate below. So, if you want to eat less, the trick is to choose a plate which has high contrast to the food served on the plate.

在餐盘的颜色选择上，尽量选择与食物颜色反差比较大。比如下面这两个餐盘，有数据表明，用红色餐盘时，人们会多吃约25%的量。

3-DRINK IN TALL SKINNY GLASSES - Visually the tall skinny glass appears to hold more liquid than the short glass. So, you can limit cold drinks and alcoholic drinks by serving them in tall skinny glasses. This way, you will be drinking 20 percent less.

用高瘦的玻璃杯来装酒。下面这两个杯子看起来大小差异很大，但其实它们的容积是一样的。

选用高瘦的杯子装酒或是冷饮，能让我们不用克制自己，自然就能少喝20%左右，这对健康来讲，无疑是个很不错的技巧。

4-AVOID EATING WHEN DISTRACTED - Research shows that people end up eating 30 percent more while watching TV, working on laptop or when distracted by something. Instead, practice mindful eating and lose weight.

不要在分心的时候吃东西。研究表明，人在看电视，用电脑或是分心的时候会比平常多吃30%的食物。这就是为什么，越宅的人看起会更胖一些。

对想控制体重的朋友来讲，最好还是多练习一下有意识的吃东西，最怕只管往嘴里塞东西，甚至都不知道在吃啥了。

5-KEEP SNACKS OUT OF SIGHT - If you are a snacker then this psychological hack is for you. When we see yummy treats like chocolates, our brain sends the signal to eat it even when we are not hungry. It is always better to keep them out of sight by storing in a non transparent container etc.

尽量让零食远离视线之外。如果你是个吃货，那么这条建议对你来讲就很重要了。当我们看到像巧克力这样美味的食物时，即使我们不饿，我们的大脑也会发出信号来吃它。

所以如果你控制不住自己，最好是用黑色的袋子把零食装起来，眼不见为净。

6- BRUSH YOUR TEETH AFTER DINNER - Brush your teeth 1 hour after dinner. This way it is less likely that you will indulge in late night munching.

养成餐后一小时刷牙的习惯。一般在刷牙之后，我们会自然的有意识的不再去吃东西了。这个习惯既对牙齿美白有帮助，同时也能帮你克制吃夜宵的冲动。

7-BUY SMALL PACKS INSTEAD OF ONE LARGE PACK - When a snack is in front of you, no matter what is the size of it, you will tend to finish it in one sitting. Therefore, opt for smaller packs and eat less.

​买零食时，尽量买小包装的。当我们在吃零食的时候，不管包装大小，我们都有一次吃完的倾向。所以，保持体重，远离大包！

以上就是今天的分享 ，希望这些小技巧对你能有所帮助，更多实用的心理学小技巧，敬请期待！
