Sticky Change Example 3: Lose Weight Through Visual Trickery

Another instalment in our real world examples of changing behaviour.

Derived from: Chip and Dan Heath, Switch : How to Change Things When Change is Hard

In RAP9 we explored tweaking your environment as a means to changing your behaviour.
One suggestion was to make it smaller.
And, in this video Obesity expert Dr. David Edelson discusses how using some visual tricks you can eat less and lose weight.

PS: Big Congratulations to us: This is our 300th blog post! And, today we reached our 2010 milestone: 20,000 Book Rapper issues downloaded this year. Thanks for your support! 🙂
