Increasing Friction to Change Eating Habits
Storing tempting foods in less accessible places can be an effective strategy to reduce impulse eating. For example, keeping Oreos in the basement makes it more challenging to grab them on a whim, thus increasing the effort required to indulge. This intentional increase in friction helps individuals resist the urge to eat their favorite snacks constantly. By altering the environment rather than relying solely on willpower, people can foster healthier eating habits.
