Food: Dream Big, Eat Less

You’d think if you were really hungry and salivating over the last delicious meal you had, you’d be MORE inclined to chow down next time you eat–right? Nope. Not necessarily, if you’re an woman.

A new study in the journal of Physiology & Behavior suggests enhancing your memory of your last meal, might help decrease your urge to snack later on. Researchers asked some of the female participants to write an detailed description of their last meal–lunch–and others not to.

The women who wrote the detailed description ended up eating fewer cookies than the women who did not write any meal-description. Researchers believe prior memory association between sensory cues and post-ingestion consequences of eating might trigger this response to eat less.

Mental note, next time I’m on a date. Get the girl to talk about what she ate earlier that day–might save me some cash!
