I find it much harder to stop eating seasoned chips than unsalted peanuts. The latter still tastes nice but doesn't have me mindlessly consume 800 calories in one sitting because at one point my brain gets bored with it. My brain doesn't ever get bored with chips or chocolate sweets or sweet yogurts etc. So I don't buy them. If you overload your brain with engineered hyperpalatable packaged products, you will need superhuman willpower and discipline to keep your calories in check. There's no magic weight loss food, but it makes a difference whether you eat fibery, normal cooked meals or packaged salty fatty sugary tasty snacks all day. Yes it will manifest itself as calories in the end, but the only long term solution is to unhook yourself from the marketing machine and say NO in the supermarket.
