How Google Tricks Employees To Eat Healthy
#2.Googlers are made to think twice about portion sizes.
Google also started offering employees the choice to use smaller plates in its cafeteria, workers can fill up as many times as they want, at least they're being encouraged to eat in smaller portions. People who use bigger plates tend to eat bigger portions. Google also installed kitchen scales within the New York cafeterias so workers can figure out how much they're eating.
#3.Soda and candy are hidden from view.
Google moved its popular M&M's from large, clear vending machines into opaque plastic jars in less accessible locales, bags of potato chips in drawers and instead placed dried figs, pistachios and other healthy snacks in glass jars. Sugary drinks like soda were kept at the bottom of the refrigerator behind tinted glass, while displaying bottled water at eye level on transparent shelves.
The most successful example was in the New York office, during a period of seven weeks, after the candies were no longer visible, employees consumed 3.1 million fewer calories in M&M's. And even the intake of soda fell by 7percent and 47percent water consumption increased.
