Eating grapes can improve your willpower. I read a 7 page article today and learned that little tidbit.
Also, artificial sweeteners DESTROY willpower, because the brain needs glucose to HAVE willpower, and giving it the fake stuff makes it freak out and demand even more glucose, which makes you eat even more sweet (but artificially sweet) stuff.. creating a vicious cycle of bad eating AND bad decisions!
