After completing a pivotal study, Brigham Young University researchers recommend middle-aged women use "restraint" when eating. Or the scientists warn—these women risk, you know, getting fat.

Yes, folks at the Y with really big heads have confirmed the link between unrestrained eating and obesity. The study, reported in the American Journal of Health Promotion, says women who do not "become more restrained in their eating" double the risk of weight gain!

Larry Tucker, a BYU health expert, notes that restrained eating "takes practice."

Now the Y can apply for a grant to determine if too much eating practice causes obesity.
