Keep an Eye on Color

We eat more when we have lots of choices, like at a buffet. But new research from the University of Illinois and University of Pennsylvania suggests that how food is arranged (in particular, by color) also plays a role. When a study coauthor offered people six varieties of jellybeans, separated by color or mixed in a bowl, they ate about twice as many from the bowl.

Why? Perhaps a mix looks like it has more variety. So if you're trying to lose weight, limit your choices and be watchful for color cues that could make you overeat.
