IMAGINE eating before actually eating

Postby redkan » Fri Dec 10, 2010 2:48 pm

Hopefully this is allowed, if not then someone can let me know or the moderators may remove the link.

I was reading on the NPR website this morning and found an article about research showing that if you spend some time imagining eating food before you actually eat it, when it comes time to eat, you'll eat less. How many of us sometimes struggle with portion control (raising my own hand)? Sounds to me like it might be worth actually trying, I know I'm going to. The article is linked below, or if it gets removed you can find it on the npr.org website under blogs/health.

Moderator Note: It's just fine to post links to articles that may be of interest to other board members. I just moved the topic to a more fitting forum.

It's an interesting idea! I feel like it might make me eat more, not less, though. I guess I'd have to try it and see.

You found it just fine, since you replied to the thread. It was originally posted in the success stories forum.

Ami, you have to follow the link in the original post to read the article. Not sure if that is what you meant. The system usually keeps a "ghost" link for awhile in the original location that is clickable to the moved location to help people track it down, but it disappears after awhile.

In case anyone is wondering, the main problems are commercial links from new members. (Neither applies here, though. :)) Here is some guidance on that:
