An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but skipping just one cookie each day might keep the pounds away. A University of Colorado obesity researcher says that snacking on one fewer cookie, or taking three fewer bites of a fast-food hamburger, is probably all that's needed to avoid what he calls "weight creep." The average American gains about two pounds per year which, over time, becomes a major health hazard. Lop off that extra cookie per day, says the good doctor, and you may stay slender. Of course, this being an unproven theory, you may not.
