If you are thinking about eating a considerable amount of time, then it actually can help you lose weight, according to scientists. The more we dream about cakes and eclairs, the less we want to eat them. Thoughts about food prevent overeating, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Scientists from the University of Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh under the direction of Dr. Carey Morvec came to a paradoxical discovery. It turns out that the more a person dreams about some tasty dishes, the less he wants to eat them in reality. The trick is to visualize images of products in the head in a non-stop mode at their own volition, and not under the influence of signals caused by appetite.

Thus, natural mechanisms are used to control food intake, which prevent overeating, according to researchers. "We found out that if a person often presents his favorite chips or cheese in his head, he consumes fewer of these products than people who think of them only at times," says Dr. Morvege.

The researchers conducted tests on a group of volunteers who were asked to imagine how they either inserted a coin into a washing machine or put chocolate sweets in their mouths.

These actions required approximately the same movements. Volunteers represented them consistently 30 times. Some people were asked to present more often only eating sweets, and someone just "fed" a washing machine.

At the end of the experiment the participants were offered a basket of sweets and offered to eat their fill. The fewest sweets were eaten by those who most often imagined how they eat them. Then the same experience was conducted with respect to cheese health. Sumy. Ua.
