Ditch "naked" candy in the name of health
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
Next time you're tempted to buy candy, pick individually-wrapped options. New research from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri tells us we tend to eat these slower than their "naked" counterparts.The way a snack is packaged affects how much we consume. Hershey's Kisses slow us down. Jelly beans do not. "A simple partition (like tinfoil) forces you to pause and ask yourself, 'Do I really want this?'" says one professor involved in the WU study.
Your homework, says Family Circle magazine: If and when you splurge on snacks and munchies not of the healthy persuasion, divide into containers you must open, like plastic bags or aluminum tins.
