Recently, scientists dicovered a new way to diet. Most people believe that when you diet, you shoud not think of chocolate or any other unhealthy foods. Well for those people, science has proved you wrong. Through hours of studying, scientists have come up with the most unbleievable technique. If you imagine a specific food, you loose your interest in it, causing you to eat less of it. However, this technique only works with the specific food you are imagining. For instance, if you are imaginig chocolate, that won't stop you from scarfing down a family-sized bag of potato chips. Being exposed to food repeatedly is called habituation. This habituation gives a signal to your brain that gives you have the feeling of a full stomach. Therefore, you end up eating less of it.
I think this article is important because it shows a new way for people to eat healthy. Many people in the U.S. are obese. Being obese, gives you a higher chance of Type Two Diabetes, Heart Disease, and strokes. Not only can this technique be helpful to people looking forward to control overeating, it also might be helpful to people with drug addictions. This technique may be the key to a happier, longer, and healthier lifetime.
