In Slim by Design, leading behavioral economist, food psychologist, and bestselling author Brian Wansink introduces groundbreaking solutions for designing our most common spaces—schools, restaurants, grocery stores, and home kitchens, among others—in order to make positive changes in how we approach and manage our diets.

Anyone familiar with Wansink’s Mindless Eating knows this is not a typical diet book. Wansink shares his scientific approach to eating, providing insight and information, so we can all make better choices when it comes to food.

The pioneer of the Small Plate Movement, Brian Wansink presents compelling research conducted at the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University by way of cartoons, drawings, charts, graphs, floor plans, and more. Slim by Design offers innovative ways to make healthy eating mindlessly easy.

great ideas... but, who is this book for?

I love the science and the movement he's trying to create, but the book is all over the place.

It's for people who want to lose weight, and parents who want their kids to be healthy, and restaurant owners, and school administrators, and grocery store owners.

There's so much extra (read: "not necessary") stuff, it should have been broken into three or four books.

Important, insightful, and a little repetitive

This sort of book isn't usually my cup of tea, but my wife told me to read it. I was very impressed by the substance of this book, and the fascinating research behind it.

I'm giving it a very high rating because, though the book has some flaws, it's contents should be read by everyone.

Good book, interesting research!

Any additional comments?

This book was good and the research he presents was interesting and definitely worth thinking about. The only thing that is slightly annoying is he is clearly selling the phrase "Slim by design" because he says it over and over, like a sales pitch. Other than that bit, it is a very good book.

Great concepts with very doable solutions.

Was very easy to listen to and offered realistic solutions that are easy and will make a big difference.

The real reason diets are a myth.

This book does a great job of bunking the whole Myth of dieting. Nobody can live on them and the only way to achieve long-term results is to make choices in our environment. Brilliant material.
