Such a good New York Times article on how we can control our behavior (and nutrition) by controlling our environment (and kitchen), written by Angela Duckworth. . “In surveys, American adults have cited lack of willpower as the top barrier to changing behavior.

Successful people rarely rely on inner fortitude to resist temptations. Instead, many exercise situational agency, arranging their lives to minimize the need for willpower in the first place.

Random-assignment experiments confirm the causal role of putting temptations out of sight and out of reach.

Adults encouraged to keep unhealthy foods at a distance ate healthier days later.

No matter your age, situational agency empowers you to navigate what might be called an ultraprocessed world — an environment saturated with temptations engineered to be irresistible.

You cannot change the conditions of modern life, but you are the sovereign of what enters your personal space.

Physical distance creates psychological distance: Draw close what you want more of; push away what you want less.”
