48. Bag the bag.
Do not eat out of a bag or a box. If you do, you will lose track of the number of cookies, crackers, popcorn, or other food that you have eaten. No doubt, you will eat too much. Take 100 - 200 calories worth of the snack out of the bag and place it on a plate. That’s your quota. You should know this; Most snacks in a bag, not all, will not provide the feeling of satiety. Learn more about mindless eating from the expert – Brian Wansink.
NOTE: Brian Wansink had to resign from his position at Cornell. He committed academic misconduct. Many of his scientific papers have been retracted because...quite simply...he lied and doctored his findings. This is a great lesson to all of us. Do not, I repeat, do not believe everything you read. While you might not be qualified as a research scientist, you must be a critical thinker when reading research findings. There are many "findings" that I find hard to believe.
