Slim by Design audiobook

Great book on the little things that make people overeat and tips to stop eating mindlessly. Similar to his prior book, Mindless Eating, but with new ideas. This book is divided into five sections, based on the places you are most likely to eat or get food: your home, your office, restaurants, the grocery store and the school cafeteria. I skipped the cafeteria and I wasn't really that interested in the grocery store, but overall, it was an entertaining, informative and fascinating.

Loved this book and I know the changes in here be super helpful!One thing it mentions is a checkout aisle that doesn't have candy. I would appreciate this so much, especially so the kids don't ask for candy or play with those battery powered lollipop spinners they always put at the lowest level. Guess what!! I realized they put those darn things down there for a reason. So now I let my kids play with those things the whole time. Let them. Mess it up. I don't care anymore!!! If you don't want my kid to mess up your aisle, then give me an aisle without any of that stuff. Gotcha, grocery store designer!!!!!

The graphics, illustrations and design of this book are visually appealing (view spoiler)[which is punny because there was a part about upgrading the menu for restaurants to boost sales and promote healthier options... there’s a good emphasis on “design” (hide spoiler)]. I think the observations and conclusions presented are fascinating, and I appreciate the simple changes we can make in our environment to achieve effortless healthy habits (for ourselves and other people). This book does not have to be read cover to cover (otherwise you may find it repetitive).

I've read Brian Wansink's other book, "Mindless Eating" a few years back. He definitely touches on a lot of good info in that book so I was fairly excited to see what this one had to offer. It had lots of suggestions to help curb mindless eating in a variety of situations. I definitely implemented some of the home solutions.

Really interesting with some very pertinent point about the psychology that affects our decision making around how and what we eat.As this was based mainly around eating outside the home, I would now like to read a previous book by the same author - Mindless Eating.

Helped me feel better about beginning intermittent fasting as a system around meal times Iin my life.
