Objects On The Plate May Be Smaller Than They Appear

It's often been said that eyes can be bigger than bellies and that a smaller full plate helps people eat less. This is because of the optical illusion of a helping of food being smaller than it appears.

Moreover, on being confronted with a long straight road ahead of one, one may feel discouraged from exercising.

Enter the Magnifying Glass Diet And Exercise Programme. The person wishing to lose weight and become healthier and fitter, three separate but often associated aims, dons a pair of magnifying spectacles which make their meal look bigger, eats said dinner and then embarks on a brisk post- prandial perambulation to burn off the kilojoules, to a location which is in fact more distant than it looks, thereby reducing calorific intake while increasing offburniness.

Furthermore, these glasses should magnify the wearers' eyes to look to others to be larger than their bellies. Corsets could help here.

A final benefit could be the provision of lamps behind the glasses in order to allow the dieter to bake/incinerate their prospective food, thereby further reducing its usable energy content.
