A         Eating low-fat foods leads to 28-45 percent more calorie intake.         Recent studies in movie theatres, holiday receptions(招待会), and homes showed people eat an average(平均数) of 28% more total calories when they eat low-fat snacks than regular ones. “Fat people can eat up to 45% more,” said researcher Brian Wansink (Ph.D.), in the book, Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.       “People don’t realize that low-fat foods are not always low-calorie foods,” says Wansink. Fat is often replaced with sugar. Low-fat snacks are an average of 11% lower in calories, but people wrongly believe they are around 40% lower.          In one study, two groups of people attending a holiday open house were given the same regular chocolates that were labeled(标注) as either “Regular” or as “Low-fat”. People served themselves an average of a third more of the candies, which would have translated into 28% more calories if they had actually been low-fat. A second study showed this is because “people believe they will feel comfortable eating the low-fat foods, so they tend to overindulge(暴食),” says Pierre Chandon, co-author and marketing professor at INSEAD in France. Fat is often replaced with sugar.
