Whether it's our favourite dessert, or a snack we love, sometimes saying 'no' is a struggle. This hack will help you regulate your appetite and prevent overeating.

Guilty of overeating? Fret not, scientists have found an easy trick to reduce food consumption.&nbsp;
According to a study published in the Food Quality and Preference journal, cutting food into small pieces and scattering it across a dish can actually trick your brain into thinking you&rsquo;re eating much more.
This trick may help as most people&rsquo;s meals are dictated by portion size rather than how full they feel.
Researchers tested the theory with a small number of participants and concluded that plating your food in the right manner is the best hack to avoid overeating.

Study suggests fatty and sugary foods make you dislike healthy alternatives

A recent study suggests that eating sugary and high-fat food items trains your brain to hate healthier options.&nbsp;

Do you also wonder why it is so difficult to give up junk and sugar? It is apparently because your brain gets used to it.&nbsp;
Published in the journal Cell Metabolism, the study suggests that eating sugary and high-fat food items trains your brain to dislike healthier options.&nbsp;
For the study, the team examined two groups where one group was given yogurt with two times higher fat and sugar and the other group was given a low-fat and sugar yogurt.&nbsp;
It was found that the group which had been eating high-sugar and fat yogurt didn&rsquo;t enjoy the healthier options as they used to before the study. Not only genetic and environmental influences, but habitual factors also contribute to weight gain, study authors concluded.
