People are more likely to consume extra calories when food
is unlimited and there are many choices. Many people think that the only way to
not overeat at a buffet is to not go to a buffet, but this is not true. Recent
studies found that sitting further away from the buffet table and checking out
the buffet before taking food can help you choose foods that look most
appealing. If smaller plates are available, taking one of these will help you
to reduce the amount of food on your plate, also helping you eat less. So the
next time you go to a buffet, sit further away from the buffet table, scout out
the food, take a smaller plate, chew your food longer, and sit a few minutes before
going back up the buffet table to let your brain sense how full you are.
