People watching the Super Bowl who saw how much they had already eaten - in this case, leftover chicken-wing bones - ate 27 % less than people who had no such environmental cues, finds a new Cornell study.

The difference between the two groups — those eating at a table where leftover bones accumulated compared with those whose leftovers were removed — was greater for men than for women. (more…)

Everybody knows The Diet Coke and Mentos Bottle Rocket, right?

You should always try to buy fresh products from the grocery store. Don’t buy Cheerios, corn flakes, canned foods, candies or any of the other foods that would still be good after a long period of time. The longer the time that food is guaranteed to be good, the unhealthy the product is.

If you cannot buy fresh food and you cannot keep away from junk food, at least you should try to avoid McDonald’s French fries. Watch this and be shocked! (more…)

“The Ring” is an unusual fruit bowl made of porcelain designed by Joung Myung Lee from Germany. It is not placed on a dining table, but hangs on the wall. The concept is between art and design. Just hang it on an accessible wall and fill the bowl with your favorite fruits.

The openings on the top and bottom will help you reach the fruit, while the openings on the sides will help you know the level of fruits remaining in the bowl. The best part about this fruit bowl is that it helps you save a lot of space, especially if you have a small kitchen like I do.

Are you trying to lose weight this year, or at least to cut back on snacking? Do you find yourself too often in the kitchen checking “what’s new” in the fridge or in the cupboard? One easy way to stay away from the kitchen is to keep yourself busy.

However, for a little bit of extra motivation, you might want to consider a little help from your diet friend: The Diet Piggy. It is a small plastic reminder (more…)

At first, when I saw The Flavor Spray I said “this is hilarious!”, but the more I think about it, the more I like it! The flavor spray “contain zero calories, zero fat, zero cholesterol, zero carbohydrates and FDA-approved Food flavoring” how they say.

When I’m on diet I always crave for all the bad aliments and this could be the key to overcome them, but I wonder how would a green salad with chocolate flavor taste like? It’s great that you could add smoked bacon flavor on steamed vegetables and stay thin, but I think is hard to find a basic aliment to spray on the desert flavors and still have low calories.

I think it’s worth trying it though, as it costs only $5.95/spray of 2.0fl.oz./60ml and you can get a discount for special packages. Unfortunately, they have limited countries they deliver.
