Guest guest Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Last night I saw Dr. Kessler, who used to be head of the FDA talking about a book he wrote on overeating and what the research shows. His says that when you add fat and sugar to a basic food and add to that, social situations which make it more appealing to eat, you have a recipe for overeating. He compared it to former smokers who might not be attracted to a cigarette, but you add to it the feel of the pack in your hand, unwrapping the plastic, smelling and seeing the smoke, you have real temptation. I know when I eat sugar, which I did a lot of last weekend I end up with the shakes and this need for MORE. What I want to know is WHY would I want to sacrifice the feeling of lightness, ease and comfort in my clothes for a few minutes of pleasure in my mouth? It simply isn't logical. I feel like this could be a breakthrough for me if I could understand the motivation. Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
