The kitchen is the heart of our home. But actually, the kitchen is also a "heart" of the success or failure of our intentions to implement the healthy consumption patterns. According to research published in Annual Reviews of Nutrition, lighting the kitchen can influence our appetite. Let check our kitchen together if we are the cause of the failure of a diet that is we live.

1. The size of the plate was not friendly with waist circumference
"Most of us will comply with all the plates and dishes presented no trace of spending it," says Lisa Young, PhD, RD, author of The portion Teller Plan. And since 1970s, the size of our plate is up to 25 percent wider than previous measures. This means, the diameter of the plates we currently can reach 30 cm.

Try to choose dishes with a diameter of 5 cm smaller than the width of the plates. This will help us to reduce 22 percent of calories from our great food menu. The benefits we enjoy are, we can shrink the 0.5 kg of body weight every month, says Brian Wansink, PhD, director of Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab who also wrote the book Mindless Eating.

Solution: For high-calorie foods such as meat or pasta, use smaller plates. And if we are planning to buy new dishes, choose a diameter of 25 cm, Wansink suggested. "Even if we could find a smaller diameter again, that's better," said Wansink.

2. Good lighting is wrong
A study proves, the lights are too bright to stimulate our appetite, so we will eat faster than normal conditions. But that does not mean that dim light is better. Dining room is dim because it makes us no appetite but also deplete our mood.

Solution: Joseph Rey-Barreau, lighting experts who live in Lexington, this has a lot to explain when the lights are specially designed for the dining room. So light that appears not too bright or too dim. Even technology has enabled us to adjust the lighting. Rey-Barreau explains, when we're cooking the food, the light can be adjusted to the light. But when mealtime comes, can we reduce light. But if we have trouble finding the lamp type, the Rey-Barreau suggests that we use four 60-watt light bulbs for four-person dining table. Put these four lights in the ceiling, directly above the dining table. While the size of six people to the table, select the six 40-watt light bulbs.

3. Messy kitchen
"The kitchen is often conditioned as the 'dumping'," said Peter Walsh, author of Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat? Know that a messy room will make our intentions healthy life increasingly difficult to implement. Because the situation will invite aura of a mess for our own stress. And according to Pam Peeke, MD, author of Fit to Live, mild or severe stress causes cortisol we followed up with hunger.

Solution: For sure we need to create a comfortable dining room as a place to enjoy healthy foods. No exception cabinet or cupboard to store spices and kitchen equipment, arranged neatly. So it's easy to take the "raw material" is healthy. "Remember, make the dining room as a place to eat. Do not be transformed to enable the family watched as the space, "advises Evelyn Tribole, RD, a highly skilled motivated people to eat healthy.

The function clear the dining room by Evelyn very important to make us focus on the foods we enjoy, plus help us listen to "belly language" whether or not we had enough. Because when we eat while doing other things will make eating 15 percent more.

4. Our glass is too big
knowingly or not; we'll drink more soda or juice glasses more when using a small but wide. Because we will focus more on serving drinks rather than high glass that we enjoy. Americans enjoy at least 350 calories of juice and soda every day can make their body weight increased by 1.5 kg in a year.

Solution: Choose a glass that "skinny" for soda and juice. But when we drink water, choose a larger glass. Actually when we are undergoing a diet program, what we drink is often more influential than what we eat. Because many studies have shown, we can reduce the 0.5 kg of body weight in six months, only to reduce sweet drinks each day.

5. We hide healthy foods
We must have often heard that eating five servings of fruits and vegetables every day will help our weight loss program. But many of us have trouble meeting that target, while fruit and vegetables are always available at home. The research of University of Arizona revealed, most of us put healthy foods in place of "hidden" so that our eyes did not directly on her. While these foods are not healthy crunchy, very easy to reach hand.

Solution: Select a forum attractive to healthy foods and place it where it is easy to see and pick it up. Some fruit will actually feel more refreshed when stored at room temperature, such as orange, mango, or grapefruit. So do not "hide" these fruits.

6. We store food in large containers
if talking about the economic; shopping with jumbo-sized staples is cheaper. Economic motive was not wrong. Precisely the error occurs when we actually save them in large containers. Because research has shown, we'll eat 23 percent more when placing chips in the bowl or jar is very large.

Solution: Move the foods that we buy the jumbo size in a small jar or container. Ideally, enough for first time presentation. So we do not invite excessive appetite come sooner.

Do not panic if it turns out from the six detection above, there are some mistakes that we make. Simply do a solution that was given to a healthy lifestyle that we choose we can apply in their entirety. And be prepared to welcome the presence of the ever-flat stomach.
