Single-serve packs could help overweight people eat less

Although the research wasn’t specifically looking at people who were trying to lose weight, it “indicates that single-serving packages may help overweight individuals,” author Hollie A. Raynor told Reuters Health by email. Some were overweight and some were healthy weight, and some were watching their food intake while others were not. Half the participants received a box of 20 single-serving packs of pretzels, each just under one ounce. The rest received two standard-size bags of pretzels, each ten ounces.
