Mindless Eating

I thought I knew most of what would be discussed in this book. This was mostly true. Some his expermients have been quoted by quite a few other books on the topic of food psychology. However, it was still nice to hear details from the source. I also had no idea about this "Spice Box" restauant. I'll have to checked it out sometime. The author seems fairly smug throughout the whole book, which I found annoying. I also thought it was a little unfair that all of his experiments where he was able to prove that people mindlessly ate more, involved eating carbs. I think his experimental design would be perfect to split test mindless eating of fats vs. carbs. I'm curious how much he would advocate trying to fool yourself into eating less, than into changing the proportions of macronutrients in your diet.
