Snack Attack

What are you doing this afternoon around 3 or 4:00?

It’s prime time for the snack attack. Brian Wansink, author of “Mindless Eating,” says some of us need that fix to stay focused – but keep it covered up. Most of us eat a lot more than we think and when food is concealed, we tend to eat around 40% less of it. That goes for candy dishes too.

Keep sweets out of sight or in non-transparent, covered containers. It also helps to keep them in an inconvenient location. When you can't see temptation - or when it is hard to get to - the less likely you are to actually eat it.
