Journal of Consumer Research reports, people who ate an apple instead of chocolate for dietary reasons were more likely to choose violent movies over milder ones....this must be why no one wants to be around a dieter!!!
I'll be the first to admit, when I'm hungry, I'm cranky! No one wants to be around me, or should for that matter. And I've noticed that since my fitness level has increased, I seem to want to eat ALL the time. This is something I'm finding hard to do when in my mind, I want to eat less to loose weight.
Last week I tested this, ate when I was hungry, watched portions, made good choices....and even with a Saturday night out drinking with friends last week(more beer than I want to admit) I managed to loose weight!!!
Trying to get into the mindset that food is not the enemy(many modern diets seem to have tried to convince us otherwise) an instead something I use to fuel my body and continue on the loosing cycle is harder than I thought.
I am still indulging every now and then but just trying to be more conscious about it...for instance I ate one yummy chocolate peanut butter heart instead of the entire package of ten!
