Can Condiments Make You Fat?

condiments fat

Put down the ketchup. Set aside that pickled relish. And leave the sauces and salsas in the fridge.

New research suggests that by leaving your condiments in the cupboard, you could end up eating drastically less, overall.


Can the Condiments
In a small study of college students, dressing up fries with ketchup and brownies with a topping caused the nibblers to eat from 25 to 40 percent more of these waist-padding foods. But the theory behind the additional bites isn’t just that a few extras make food taste better. The extras actually increase the amount of time it takes for your palate to get tired of the taste of a particular food. So you end up eating more, regardless of whether you’re hungry or full.

I dropped a few pounds. I refused to give up beer so I can only lose so much.

Gave up potato chips and donuts too. Takes a lot to balance out the beer....

Think I'll write a book. The Beer Diet!

Or maybe the burgers and beer diet.


Also, since there is no minimum daily requirement for refined sugar, I eat very little of it. None in coffee and none in tea.
