不想打掃廚房？你可能會吃更多！

Turns out, you're not just what you eat -- you're also where you eat.
“吃什麼”決定着你是什麼樣子？事實證明，“在哪兒吃”一樣重要。

Researchers found that study participants snacked on double the number of calories when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one.
研究人員發現，當研究參與者置身在一個雜亂不堪的廚房裏時，相較於所處環境整潔的研究參與者，他們所攝取的零食熱量會是後者的兩倍。

The researchers had 98 women spend 10 minutes in a kitchen, under the guise of asking them to wait for someone. Half of the participants stood in a cluttered kitchen, which was scattered with piles of newspapers and dirty dishes and had a ringing phone. The other half of the women waited in an organized kitchen.
研究人員讓98名女性在一個廚房裏等10分鐘，假稱她們要在那裏等待某人到來。其中有一半人置身在雜亂的廚房裏，到處是一堆一堆的報紙、用過的盤子，電話還在響。另一半人置身於一個整潔的廚房之中。

Both kitchens contained bowls of crackers, cookies and carrots, laid out for the participants to munch on. Each woman in the chaotic environment ate twice as many cookies -- a total of 53 more calories -- compared to those in the clean kitchen.
兩個廚房裏都備有碗裝的餅乾、曲奇和胡蘿蔔，作爲休閒小零食提供給參與者。相較於那些置身整潔廚房的參與者，身處環境雜亂的參與者人均吃下餅乾的分量是另一組參與者的兩倍——即多攝取53大卡的熱量。

Why did this happen?
爲什麼會這樣呢？

"Being in a chaotic environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets," psychology professors said in a statement. "It seems to lead people to think, ‘Everything else is out of control, so why shouldn’t I be?’”
“置身於雜亂的環境之中會讓你感覺一切都不受控制，這種狀態對於節食是非常不利的。”心理學家解釋道，“這種環境會導致人們產生這樣的想法，‘既然一切都已經越出常軌，爲什麼我不能這樣呢？’”
