Stealth Weight Gain

We all really know what adds weight on but there are a few stealth factors that are also involved in this process.
-For example did you know that in the finer restaurants that nice soothing music acts as an incentive for you to linger longer and ultimately order more food?
-Loud, fast and upbeat music also makes you eat more because it literally speeds up your eating. All of a sudden your plate is empty and you don’t even realize it!
-Standing and eating food out of containers while you eat is another bad habit. Studies indicate you eat up to 50% more than those who sit at a table eating off a regular plate. Apparently standing while eating feels more like “just a snack” which is not as satisfying. 
-Lastly, the more choices you have of something appears a lot more appealing and encourages more sampling.

Did I miss any?
