Portion Distortion subtly nudges you to eat and drink more than you need to. You may be comfortably full but because there’s still food on your plate or some drink left in your cup, you’re very likely to finish it. Why?

The link to the full article below provides a clear understanding of this phenomenon and explains why it’s contributing to a growing rise in people being overweight and frankly spending more than they need to in restaurants and coffee shops.

It explains how the phenomenon is all around us and here to stay. But more importantly it gives you some practical ideas on how avoid it.

FLOOR MANAGER - MAYABAY DUBAI

It is rare to find a partner who moves as quickly as Monica. We shared our staycation deal at Fairmont The Palm, and she had it publicized within 48 hours. She is incredibly reliable and has become a go-to resource for us when we need to get quality information in front of an engaged audience fast.
