I totally understand this article. I'll just stand in front of the pantry and snack sometimes, whereas when I was in college there is no way I'd ever do that, and I think it is partially because of my added weight (and the habit of eating to reduce stress or because I'm bored). I find that eating less than what I typically would have, eating nuts and more protein (not Atkins, but just in general), and running has helped me lose a few pounds. Also, if I start snacking a lot, I sometimes grab a beer. People talk about beer bellies, but I find that I snack less when I'm drinking slowly.
