9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2017 Diet res-illusions: Tips from the pros on how to lose weight By MARILYNN MARCHIONE Associated Press AP Photos/Kirsty Wigglesworth A Humboldt penguin swims during a photo call for the annual stock take at London Zoo in London, Tuesday. Caring for more than 750 different species, ZSL London Zoo’s keepers face the challenging task of tallying up every mammal, bird, reptile, fish and invertebrate at the zoo. LONDON ZOO TO ANIMAL RESIDENTS: Stand up and be counted Associated Press LONDON — It’s count- ing time at the London Zoo — time to make a tally of every animal on the premises, even the Partula snails. The process required by the zoo’s license started Tuesday on a cold, clear sunny London morning. It usually takes a week or so to complete the complicated task — it’s not so easy to count ants and locusts. There are many new crea- tures in the menagerie, includ- ing two Sumatran tiger cubs. Early results are in: Turns out there are 2,132 Partula snails, who are part of a breed- ing and reintroduction pro- gram to protect the species. The information gathered is shared with other zoos world- wide in an effort to manage conservation and breeding programs.

New Year’s diet reso- lutions fall like needles on Christmas trees as January goes on. Genes can work against us. Metabolism, too. But a food behavior researcher has tested a bunch of little ways to tip the scale toward success. His advice: Put it on auto- pilot. Make small changes in the kitchen, at the grocery store and in restaurants to help you make good choices without thinking. “As much as we all want to believe that we’re master and commander of all our food decisions, that’s just not true for most of us,” said the researcher, Brian Wan- sink. “We’re influenced by the things around us — the size of the plate, the things people are doing ... the lighting.” He heads the Cornell Uni- versity Food and Brand Lab, has written books on tak- ing control of food choices, and has had government and industry funding. Some tips are gimmicks, and some may not work as well for you as they did in tests. But they “make a lot of sense” and many are backed by other studies, said one independent expert, Dr. Wil- liam Yancy, a weight spe- cialist at Duke University’s diet and fitness center. To start: Make goals that are SMART — Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound, Yancy said. Instead of resolving to eat better, plan how to do it, such as having chips once or twice a week instead of every day. Rather than vague vows to get in shape, resolve to walk half an hour every day after dinner. Other tips from Wan- sink and research to support them: All items $1000 or less can be sold in the budget section. $9.00 for 11 words. If you have items to sell, give us a call today.

DOYLE, OSB#950706 429 North Water Street Silverton, Oregon 97381 503-874-1600 Published: December 14th, 21st, 28th, 2016, and January 4th, 2017 though it shortens shelf life, move fruits and vegetables out of crisper drawers and put them at eye level. Keep good foods in clear bags or containers and less healthy things like leftover pizza in aluminum foil. In one study, people who put fruits and vegetables on the top shelf ate nearly three times more of them than they did the week before. Keep no food out except a fruit bowl. Researchers pho- tographed 210 kitchens to see whether countertop food reflects the weight of women in each home. Those who left breakfast cereal out weighed 20 pounds more than neigh- bors who didn’t; those with soft drinks out weighed 24 to 26 pounds more. Those with a fruit bowl weighed 13 pounds less. At the table Beware the glassware. Use narrower glasses, pour wine when the glass is on the table rather than in your hand, and use a glass that doesn’t match the color of the wine. A study found that people poured 12 percent more wine when using a wide glass, 12 percent more when holding the glass, and 9 percent more when pouring white wine into a clear glass versus a colored or opaque one. Pour any glass only half full — this cuts the average pour by 18 percent. Use smaller plates and pay attention to color. Big plates make portions look small. In one study, people given larger bowls took 16 percent more cereal than those given smaller bowls, yet thought they ate less. People also take more food if it matches the color of their plate. But they eat less when the table- cloth or placemat matches the plate; it makes the food stand out more. Keep the TV off and eat at a table. A study of din- ner habits of 190 parents and 148 children found that the higher the parents’ body mass index (a ratio of height and weight), the more likely they were to eat with the TV on. Eating at a table was linked to lower BMI. Try small portions of “bad” foods. Eat a bite or two, then distract your- self for 15 minutes to see if you feel satisfied. A study gave people different por- tions of chocolate, apple pie and potato chips and had them rate hunger and crav- ing before and 15 minutes after eating. Bigger portion folks ate 103 calories more, but didn’t feel more satisfied than those given less. At the grocery store Divide your shopping cart in half. Use a partition, purse or coat for a visual cue to fill at least half of your cart with fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. In two studies, half of shoppers were given divided carts and told to put healthier items in front. They spent more on produce than those given regular shopping carts. Be careful when buying in bulk . A study found that people who bought big con- tainers of chips, juice boxes, cookies, crackers and gra- nola bars ate half of it within the first week — twice as fast as they normally would. Tip: Repackage into sin- gle-serve bags or containers, or store it out of reach, such as the basement. Eat an apple first. People given a sample of an apple at the store increased spend- ing on fruits and vegetables versus those given no sam- ple or a cookie. A healthy snack may prime people to buy better foods, not the fast, processed foods they gravitate to when shopping hungry. Circle every island in the produce section. In a study of 1,200 shoppers, every minute spent in the produce section meant $1.80 more in fruit and vegetable sales. At a restaurant Let the light shine. Researchers checked sales receipts of patrons at four casual chain restaurants. Those in brighter rooms were more likely to order healthier fish, vegetables or white meat rather than fried food or dessert. Diners in dim rooms ordered 39 per- cent more calories. Sit near a window. Researchers analyzed 330 diners’ receipts after they left. The closer they were to a window, the fewer foods and alcoholic drinks they ordered. Ask for a to-go box in advance. Half of diners in a study were told before they ordered that the portions were big and that they could have a doggie bag. Those told in advance wound up taking more food home. To-go boxes encourage peo- ple to eat about a third less.
