Oh, and one more thing about today’s “Good Morning America” segment.

They placed granola in the “healthy food” category.

I could NOT disagree more.

Granola is PACKED with calories. When my firm has a client in New York or Chicago that needs to GAIN weight, we urge them to eat lots and lots of granola.

Sure, there are some healthy properties in granola, but from a weight loss standpoint, it’s a disaster.

But there is one use of granola that I am okay with. If you can place about a tablespoon of it into your yogurt, you make like the crunch with the creamy texture and in that instance, I am okay.

But only a tablespoon.

I just watched a very interesting segment on Good Morning America.

In it, the filmed a behavior lab and offered both healthy and unhealthy foods in a break room at a company in New York.

What they found was that:

1.  If the healthy food is placed higher, say, on a pedestal, people will eat more of it and the platter will empty faster.

2.  If a mirror is placed in front of the unhealthy food, people will eat less of it.

So, think about this when you are eating or putting food out for others to eat. If you place the healthy food up high, odds are, it will be eaten more often.

And if you do have less healthy food out, prop a mirror up behind it and see what happens.
