5. Cover your treats. A study conducted by Google, Inc., as reported by TIME, sought to decrease the consumption of candy (specifically M&M’s) by employees. The results found that when the candies were placed in opaque, covered containers throughout the office, overall consumption of the sweets decreased. In contrast, when nuts and dried fruits were placed in clear glass bowls throughout the office, consumption of these healthy snacks increased. The moral: Covering your candy will make you less likely to indulge in it because it is‚ Out of sight, out of mind.
