In this study, they chose a well-known Italian restaurant as venue. Two sets of forks were used when it was done. The first set was composed of big forks. On the other hand, the second set contained regular-sized forks. The duration of the study was two days. During that time, tables were chosen by random and some of them would receive huge forks while others got small ones. Before giving food to the customers, their plates were weighed. Once the customers finished eating, their plates were weighed once more. You know what they found out? It turns out that the customers who made use of smaller forks consumed more food than those who used bigger ones.
This only goes to show the size of the forks really affected the way people eat their food. What is the reason behind this? According to the diners who used smaller forks, they said that they felt like they were consuming little food because the forks they used seemed to give them only small amounts. This is why they ate more because they thought that they were not eating enough. Due to this reason, it is clear that using a bigger fork when eating really helps one control their food consumption thus aid individuals in losing weight. Although this is just a new technique, it is worth trying because it is one effective way to lose weight and minimize overeating.
