Menu labeling Seeing how many calories are in a menu entrée can affect what you order. This is after New York City recently required restaurants to post fat and calorie information for all items. Researchers surveyed customers before and after the change. They found diners ate an average of 106 fewer calories after the information was posted.

Gum chewing and weight loss Speaking of cutting calories a new study shows chewing gum could help. Rhode Island researchers recently discovered people who chew gum in the morning usually eat fewer calories during lunch.

Now Wrigley's gum did fund the study but the obesity society is planning on publishing it in an upcoming journal.
