Snacking and BMI linked to double effect of brain activity and self-control

Snacking and BMI linked to double effect of brain activity and self-control: Snack consumption and BMI are linked to both brain activity and self-control. New research discovered that an individual's brain 'reward center' response to pictures of food predicted how much they subsequently ate. This had a greater effect on the amount they ate than their conscious feelings of hunger or how much they wanted the food.
