Scientists have told about the main causes of gluttony. Experts believe that the food itself is to blame for overeating, namely the portion size..

Jenny Morris, who works at the University of Sussex, is the leading expert on binge eating.. She led research on overeating.

Morris, on the basis of a series of experiments, proved that the portions of dishes that a person takes in food are to blame.. During the experiment, the subjects were offered a snack of soup from a plate. In the process of how the participants of the experiment absorbed food, more and more liquids were added to their dishes.. As a result, several people ate 73% more soup than was originally in the bowl.. And most importantly, they themselves did not notice it..

Another reason for overeating, scientists believe the variety of dishes in their daily diet.. When a person is offered several different delicacies, he does not always manage to resist the temptation.. In addition, overeating can be affected by watching TV while eating.. At such moments, a person concentrates not on a TV program, and does not control the amount of food eaten..
