    Default Want to lose weight? Use a RED plate

    Many people struggle to lose weight, putting themselves through grueling work outs and faddy diets.

    Yet, eating less may be as simple as changing the colour of your plates.

    Red plates are thought to trigger a danger signal that reduces the amount we eat.

    While white plates make food taste sweeter, allowing you to enjoy your dessert just as much but with less sugar.


    Eating off a red plate may trigger a danger or avoidance signal, making us consume less food

    Dr Charles Spence, professor of experimental psychology, University of Oxford, said: 'Snack foods - unhealthy stuff on a red plate - you end up eating a little bit less because it's that red colour on a plate where it seems to trigger some sort of danger or avoidance signal.

    'What you serve food on turns out to have more of an impact on our taste and flavour perception then I think any of us realise,' Business Insider reported.


    Food served on a white plate stands out more and may trigger memories of past sweet treats

    He said: 'Ready meals are often eaten straight from the packet.
    'By serving food on a white background and reducing the sugar, it keeps the consumer thinking they are eating the same food as before.

    'This could help people to perceive sweetness but without the calories.'
