It does. One of the things I teach is that if you never buy pre-made sweets you will find that you are eating a lot less of them. Some times by over 75%. The more effort you have to put into something the less you will do it. You will stop and think if it is really worth it.
But if all you have to do is stuff it in your mouth you are not going to think about it the same way.
