According to a study conducted at the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, spending time in a dirty and cluttered kitchen may increase your calorie intake by as many as two times. The results of the study were published in Journal Environment and Behaviour.

The research included 98 female participants that were divided into two groups. One group was asked to write about the time they felt their life was out of control while the other group was asked to write about the time when they felt their life was in control.

After they completed, half of the participants were asked to wait in the kitchen which was dirty and chaotic, while the other half waited in a clean kitchen. In addition, both of the kitchens had bowls of cookies and salads.

After 10 minutes, the women who wrote about the time that they felt their life was out of control ate 53 more calories than the women who entered the clean kitchen.

“Being in a cluttered and chaotic environment and feeling out of control is bad for any diet," says the lead author of the study. The chaotic environment around you makes you one (out of control and chaotic) and makes you binge and thus overeat.

Women who wrote about feeling in control ate approximately 100 calories lesser in the cluttered kitchen than those who were feeling stressed and writing about the same.
