The condition of being overweight or obese has skyrocketed in recent decades, bringing with
it many secondary health problems. Therefore, it is important to seek strategies to promote
weight loss and to assist in weight maintenance after weight loss. Different diet
compositions may have different effects on satiety and thus affect food choice. A pilot study
will be conducted to determine if mixed nuts affect food selection and intake. Questionnaires
will also be administered to determine if personality characteristics are also influencing
food choice.
