Not that fruit ever helped me much, the blood sugar nosedive would have sent me back looking for more in no time.<br /><br /><i>Go ahead and eat French fries as long as you exercised that day.</i><br /><br />The logic of this totally escapes me too. Why would I want to put all that trans-fat and starch laden junk in my system? An hour after eating fries, my blood sugar would have plummeted to rock bottom. Which means that the next day when I attempted to exercise, I'd have felt like a hung-over slug. (sugar hangover, that is) <br /><br />However, a lot of what he says rings true, especially the stuff about eating more from bigger bowls, and food tasting better when it's presented more elegantly. <br /><br />As far as things like most food decisions for the family being made by the one who buys the food and prepares the meals, that's only common sense - if mom isn't buying it or cooking it, the kids aren't very likely to be eating it, and therefore the kids aren't going to be eating what's not available to them. <br /><br />I think the tendency to eat more when there are guests at the table depends on just how self consious you are of your weight and food issues, because people who are overweight tend to (perhaps sub-consiously) try to make it appear to others that they aren't eating enough to be so overweight. <br /><br />Makes me wonder though - did he tackle the problem of emotional eating?
