Lesson 9: Food And Relapse Prevention - Slide 18
People Don’t Eat Calories,
They Eat Volume
- Most of us rely on the volume of
food to tell us we’re full
- We usually eat the same visible
amount of food we’re used to eating
- Studies show that if a person thinks he ate less than that typical volume he’ll think he’s hungry
- If he thinks he ate more, he’ll think he’s full
- Volume trumps calories
- We eat the volume we want, not the calories we want
