People who lose weight gradually and steadily lose about 1 to 2 pounds per week and are more successful at keeping the weight off. In a 2006 study involving 40 secretaries, researchers found the closer chocolate was to a person's desk, the more they ate. People also ate more candy when it was in a clear container than when it was in an opaque one. Even for people who promised they'd stop snacking, having candy within arm's reach is just too tempting, Brian Wansink, one of the study's authors, told the Wall Street Journal Asking your co-workers to keep the candy under wraps might help, or you could counter the attack by providing your own bowl of healthier nibbles.
