The diet glasses

Here’s another bizarre tool for losing weight: The Diet Glasses. Yes. Glasses for losing weight.
How do they work do you think?
Made in Japan
The glasses were invented in Japan (where else) by professor Michitaka Hirose and his team at Tokyo University (original source). The glasses work by seemingly enlarging the food in your hand, while your hand still looks the same.
The idea is that if the food you eat look larger you will automatically eat less and lose weight.
The glasses were tested at Tokyo University and people wearing the enlarging glasses ate 9.3% fewer cookies than a control group. When the glasses made the cookies look smaller instead people ate 15 percent more cookies.
Why this is stupid
There are many reasons why this is a stupid idea. Just look at the glasses. Would you wear them at lunch?
However, the number one reason is this:
If you want to lose weight the trick is not to wear glasses that fool you into eating 9.3% fewer cookies. The trick is to not eat cookies.
So, funny! Thanks.
Dwight: THAT is a marvellous idea as well and I am now beginning to wonder whether it was by chance that it was JAPANESE men who came up with this wonderful thing.
I'd call this "misguided" and "insufficient", but it's not quite "stupid".
I do make a conscious choice all the time, though, and put most of my meals on a bread plate (a little larger than a saucer) and eat with a salad fork.
But unless you're wearing the glasses all the time, it's pretty hard to fool yourself to that degree, IMO.
haha like a chastity belt.
should work well for Americans, but completely wasted with Swedes ;-)
Maybe it does work!

You can get an iPhone app that lets you share picture of what you're eating with other users and a bunch of vegans and fat phobics will rate your choices "very fattening."
The best rating I ever got was for kale chips - and it probably was less than 100% because some people were worried they might have salt on them.
Same as computers are no longer 30 feet high like they had a NASA in the 60's. The average smart phone has more processing power than all of the 1969 NASA computers combined.
You really are a moron.
Perhaps you would be happier with the Paper Bag diet ?
Just put a paper bag over your head and then you cannot eat... LOL
