Red makes you eat less?

Mumbai: With obesity rates reaching an all-time high, scientists have now come up with a new solution to help people control weight.

According to Fox News, a recent study has found that seeing the color red while eating reduced over consumption.

The study compared consumption of not only food, but also products when sampled from red plates versus other colors like blue or white.

The results concluded that all items served on a red plate were consumed substantially less than items served on other colors and even those who claimed a specific food item as their favorite ended up eating less from a red plate than those eating from other plates.

The study is published in the journal Appetite.
