Choice architecture can be helpful to reduce your urges. Choice architecture refers to how our environment is designed to influence the choices we make. Today when you are bombarded with choices. You are about to take action, you can make changes to design an environment for yourself. Your food tray, your refrigerator, kitchen cabinets and maybe office food plate. A few minor changes that can have a long psychological impact in weight management and eating habits. Three principles are important when it comes to design choices. First one is to establish defaults. Defaults are the path of least resistance where you don't have to think much before taking action. The second principle is an expected error. Human beings are designed to make mistakes.Taking mistakes a stepping stone and not a hurdle. The third one is giving feedback. Let's look at some strategies in action that can reinforce food choices.
