How to organize your kitchen for successful weight loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen organization is really important<\/strong> for success in losing weight. Food selection<\/strong> in your refrigerator will affect your tastes. Their correct alignment<\/strong> also plays an important role. How to do it? Check out 10 tips for proper kitchen reorganization for weight loss!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the food at the right place<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Placing healthy foods in the places that are most visible <\/strong>is guaranteed to be the most important point in organizing your kitchen. Many people tend to store the food they consume most often on the shelves at eye level<\/strong>. If you are a fan of unhealthy treats, and these shelves are full of chips, sweets and junk food, you are doing wrong<\/strong>. According to studies, our diet is affected by what our eyes see<\/strong> and what foods we have within reach. Even another study showed that women, who had to walk 2 meters for a piece of chocolate, ate only half the chocolate bar<\/strong>. On the contrary, women who had chocolate in front of them and did not make any effort to get it consumed it in its entirety<\/strong>. [1] [2] [3] [9]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, healthy food<\/a><\/strong> have the same effect<\/strong>. If you place fruit in a shelf or bowl in front of you, you will consume it more often<\/strong> than if you had it stored somewhere in a higher shelf. Therefore, consider moving less nutritious foods to the highest and lowest shelves<\/strong>, and place healthier foods such as nuts<\/a>, fruits<\/a>, nut butters<\/a> and whole grain crackers or snacks with lower sugars and fats in the best available shelves<\/strong>. By rearranging your kitchen, you can eliminate the temptation to reach for unhealthy snacks<\/strong> and prevent overeating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This principle also works with regard to storing food in the refrigerator. <\/strong>However, transparent containers designed for storing fruits and vegetables are often out of our view and our view<\/strong> in the refrigerator first falls on the middle shelves. Therefore, try to store fresh food in these shelves<\/strong>, and store the remaining less used food in boxes at the bottom of the refrigerator. If you want the vegetables to stay fresh longer, you can put them in closable containers, preferably with air supply<\/strong>. You then store them on the middle shelf and not only save space, but also stimulate your appetite for healthy food. [1] [2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not store food on the kitchen counter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are you one of those people who prefer to leave food on the kitchen counter instead of putting it aside<\/strong>? We often say that “I will use these foods again soon anyway”<\/em>, so it can easily happen that chips, caloric sauces, sweet treats or cooking ingredients are left on the counter.<\/strong> It was in the first point that we explained that the foods that are within reach of the eyes are the most consumed. According to a study in the journal Health Education and Behavior, women who regularly kept calorie drinks on the kitchen counter tended to enjoy them more than those who stored drinks on shelves<\/strong>. [2] [3] [4]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is also true for healthy foods. They also contain calories, for example sugars in the case of fruit and fats in the case of nuts.<\/strong> If you overdo it, and every time you eat a piece of them as you walk around, it will have the same effect as eating junk food<\/strong>. Everything needs to be eaten in moderation, so put in the effort and put the food in the shelf or refrigerator where it belongs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the right kitchen utensils<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to a study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, careful selection of kitchen utensils<\/strong> leads to more lenient dietary decisions. A typical example is an ordinary ice cream scoop. In the mentioned study, the participants who took ice cream with a colored and decorated spoon, ate 22% more ice cream than those who used a regular scoop.<\/strong> [3] [5]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is because attractive products that are not only useful but also pleasing to the eye stimulate our minds to reward<\/strong>. In the case of kitchen utensils, it is a reward in the form of food. Therefore, reach for ordinary but effective kitchen utensils<\/strong>. [3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
