Diet Mind Tricks – Why You Can’t Say No

You ever wonder WHY no matter how hard you try you just can’t seem to say NO to that delicious plate of cheesy nachos that your friends ordered and put right in front of you?

Well, those tasty cheesy nachos or plate of wings or spinach dip has been scientifically engineered so you CAN’T say no – so you can’t stick to your flat stomach diet -  and once you give in they won’t let you stop.

FAST FOOD SCIENCE

We, as humans, have a certain point known in the food industry as the ‘bliss point’.  This ‘bliss point’ is the ultimate point of happiness and satisfaction for our taste buds.  We reach this ‘heaven caused by food’ when our taste buds are triggered with certain amounts of sugar, fats and salt.

HOW THIS WORKS AGAINST YOU

There are people in this world you want to SABOTAGE your diet. Well, not on a personal level – its just their job. Huh? Food companies hire people known as ‘menu scientist’ to help them figure out the right packaging and presentation of menu items.

The menu scientists use their knowledge of the ‘bliss point’ to influence your appetite. They create a certain combination of fat, sugar, and salt in the food products in order to create ‘heaven on a plate’ and make your taste buds go NUTS for more. Since the combination of fat, sugar and salt is just right you just can’t say no. You then begin to dream about that first bite of those cheesy, delicious nachos and no matter how hard you try – you just can’t seem to say no.

WHAT TO DO?

The easiest way to avoid these food traps is to just say no – which can be extremely difficult. If you are going out and are going to be surrounded by these fat, tasty, treats make sure you eat before you go out. Eating a quick meal and ensuring that your stomach is satisfied can help you avoid those ‘not-so-good-for-you-but-taste-so-delicious’ foods – keeping you on track to your flat stomach.
