Keep Healthy Snacks Visible and Junk Food Hidden
The Problem
You grab chips because they're right there. The fruit is buried in the crisper drawer.
The Hack
Put a fruit bowl on the kitchen counter. Keep nuts and cut vegetables at eye level in the fridge. Move junk food to high shelves, back of cabinets, or don't buy it.
Why It Works
Google's cafeteria study proved this: making healthy food more visible and accessible increased its consumption by 30%. Making unhealthy food slightly harder to reach reduced it by 30%. Zero willpower required.
Pro Tips
- Fruit bowl on the counter increases fruit consumption 30%
- Unhealthy snacks on high shelves or in opaque containers
- Pre-cut vegetables at eye level in clear containers in the fridge
- The best strategy: don't bring junk food into the house at all
