SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
The secret to losing weight might be eating the brownie, instead of fighting the urge. A 2-year study of 30 adults found that one successful strategy for weight loss was including small portions of favorite treats in balanced meals instead of banning them completely. Researchers also found that people who lost more than 5% of their body weight were more likely to see lasting reductions in food cravings. Managing cravings during the first 6 months was found to help predict weight-loss success over the full 2 years.

Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler‘s “Miami Vice ’85” reboot has dropped its first look at the 2 stars in character. Filming has begun on the film, in which Jordan plays ‘Ricardo Tubbs’ and Butler is ‘Sonny Crockett.’ The reboot is based on the popular detective show that ran from 1984-89. In the original series, Don Johnson starred as Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas was Tubbs. The 2 characters are police detectives who work undercover in Miami, Florida. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who recently helmed “F1” and “Top Gun: Maverick.” Miami Vice ’85 will hit theatres May 19, 2028. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4y7wc6f4
Joe Manganiello’s new memoir seems to be making some waves with Tom Cruise. The book speculates that Cruise screwed Manganiello out of a starring role — and Joe thinks it’s because he shares an ex with Tom — Sofía Vergara. The New York Post says that the book, “Bloodlines”, which was released yesterday, contains Manganiello’s claim that his team believes Cruise prevented him from landing the lead role in Amazon’s “Jack Reacher” series because the 2 men once dated Sofía. He writes that Amazon bosses and production heads were initially dead set on giving the role to him — but the part was suddenly given to another actor. Cruise played ‘Reacher’ in 2 films, and was an executive producer on the show. AVAILABLE NOW: https://amzn.to/486grmR

OF THE DAY
MORE TIPS TO HELP YOUR LIFE RUN SMOOTHLY:
❑ Want to sleep better? Try changing the lighting before bed. As you know, experts recommend putting away phones and other devices at least an hour before hitting the hay, but you can also swap a bright white bulb for an amber or red one. Color-changing bulbs or a salt lamp can work too. Sleep medicine specialist Sarah Silverman (not THAT Sarah Silverman…) says the softer, golden glow is less stimulating and may help your body naturally produce melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate sleep. So, dim the lights, ditch the screens and let your bedroom get a little moodier. And by that, I mean “sleeping-mood” moodier.
❑ Try scheduling a “scary hour” — one hour dedicated to tackling those annoying tasks you’ve been avoiding. Content creator Janine Mulone recommends using the time for things like filing expenses, returning that shirt you bought 3 weeks ago or finally booking a dentist appointment. Letting these chores pile up creates mental clutter and stress, while getting them done can boost your sense of accomplishment, prevent late fees…and free up your brain. And when the scary hour is over, reward yourself…with social media time, a treat, or whatever makes adulting slightly less…well, scary.

FACT FOR YOU:

this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
✓ Commercially raised turkeys are too heavy to fly. In fact, turkey breeding has caused turkey breasts to grow so large that turkeys sometimes fall over.
✓ A nervous disorder can cause turkeys to stare at the sky for 30 seconds or more. But scientists dismiss the notion that they can drown that way when it is raining.
✓ If you throw an apple to a group of turkeys, they’ll play with it together, kind of like soccer.
✓ The technical name for a glob of toothpaste sitting on a toothbrush is: “nurdle”.
WEIRD NEWS
When’s the last time you managed to get somewhere new without using GPS? Neuroscientists say finding your own way can be good for your brain. A study of London taxi drivers found that memorizing routes was linked to increases in gray matter, even in adulthood. Neurologists Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai recommend ditching your map app once a week and navigating on your own. It’s a simple way to give your brain a workout. Just maybe don’t try it when on your way to an important appointment.
