Obviously one of the main reasons for weight gain is eating too much of the wrong food or eating too much of any food, harsh but true. Too much is simply that… Too much! So with this in mind, it would make sense to eat less, wouldn’t it? This is commonsense, you know this, I know this, the problem is it’s a lot easier said than done.
So, will cutting your food in smaller pieces help you lose weight, well I’m not sure if this technique alone will give you the dream body you always wanted, but it should see you eating less, well according to some scientist over in the US anyway.

If you can’t resist eating an entire bar of chocolate in one go, the solution could be simple.
Unwrap it and break it into all of its individual chunks before tucking in.
Research shows that people eat less when presented with several small pieces of food rather than one large one – even when the two contain the same number of calories.

Will cutting your food into smaller pieces help you lose weight or should I say make you eat less? I don’t know, if you are curious and would like to know if this works or not, you’re going to have to try it. Will I give it a go? Sure, why not, what have I got to lose other than my weight.
So next time before eating that chocolate bar, break it into chunks and see what happens.
