Avoid going to the supermarket when you're very hungry, as you're more likely to buy unhealthy food like crisps and sweets.

That's the health message of US researchers, who have looked at whether fasting has an impact on food choices.

In an experiment, people who fasted for five hours before shopping tended to buy higher-calorie food than when full.

The study has health implications, given the rise in extreme dieting, says a Cornell University team.
