Can The Candy Jar

Are you constantly caught with your hand in the candy jar? Odds are that if you work with any kind of candy bowl or jar at or near your desk you may eat an average of 77% more calories per day then if you tossed that candy out according to Brian Wansink, Ph.D, author of Mindless Eating. That may not sound like a lot, but it can really add up. If you snack all day over a year it could add more than 5 pounds in extra weight. You may not even know it, but with that ever so tempting dish in front of you all day you will inadvertently think about it all day too. So save yourself! Toss it out, is it really that important to keep the rest of the office on a sugar high. Don't sacrifice your own diet and get rid of the candy — out of sight, out of mind.
