12. Useful Containers
A deleted Reddit user explains how containers help them stay on track. They say, “I have three mini plastic cups I put my snacks in. I probably wouldn’t know how to portion without them. My grandpa brought them home from an airplane. I think they originally contained some dessert. They’re cute and so, so useful! I use them every day. On a similar note, I keep my chocolate in a glass that originally had mustard – it’s got waffle-like decorative squares on its sides and a waterproof cap. Why does this help? I don’t know, but I have not pulled out more than two pieces from it at a time.
“So, it’s gotta be doing something, right? I wish the can of Pringles had the same effect. Keep in mind I used to finish a chocolate bar the day I opened it. I’m now looking out for more unexpected cute containers. Could I just use a cup or jar for the same purpose? Yes… But it’s not the same.” This Reddit user believes cute containers for their food helps to curb hunger and snacking. While this isn’t a diet, the tip could be useful to some. Smaller containers equal less snacking. I can see where they are trying to go with this.
