Items on your kitchen counter can reveal insights about your weight.
Research shows people who keep only a bowl of fruit visible weigh less, on average, than those with candy, soda, or even breakfast cereals in sight. The weight differences ranged from 9.4 to 14.4 kilograms.
This study highlights correlation rather than direct causation, but the lead researcher notes wisely: 'It doesn't hurt to think about what you see in your kitchen. You eat what you see.'
Coincidence or real impact?
Earlier studies have found similar patterns. At minimum, you'll gain a tidier kitchen.
