In a recent post in the Wall Street Journal, Katherine Hobson talks about a study that suggests the more we think about our food cravings, the less we want them.
Ya…I don’t buy that.
When I crave something, say, chocolate, and I start to think about how it melts in my mouth and I can taste its sweetness. Then I start to think about other foods I like that is sweet, like frozen yogurt. Then, I begin to think about the topping I’d put on my fro-yo, which is usually something crunchy, like granola. Granola is my soymilk’s best friend. What else do I like with soymilk? How about a chocolate chip scone! Hmm…chocolate…
Well, now you see where this is going.
Somehow I just find it hard to believe that thinking about food makes the craving go away, because the more I think about food, the more I want to eat. And then usually the only way to curb the craving is by giving into the food’s calling.
So now that writing this blog has gotten me thinking about food, I'll be in the kitchen.
