The products on your counter can predict your weight.
People who only have a bowl of fruit in sight weigh less on average than those who have candy and soda in sight. Even breakfast cereals in plain sight would have a negative effect on your weight. The difference in weight varied from 9.4 to 14.4 kilograms.
The research doesn't necessarily show that you gain weight when the candy is up for grabs. But the researcher wisely adds:'It doesn't hurt to think about what you see in your kitchen. You eat what you see.'
Coincidence or not?
Previous research has shown almost the same thing. If it has no effect, you will at least have a tidy kitchen.
