Smelling Cooking and Weight
This is purely from observing myself, but it makes sense also 🙂
We have all heard of the Mediterranean Diet. The presumption is the ingredients…
But what if the benefits come from the smell of food cooking.
Italy has a tradition of slow cooking, which means smelling dinner for hours before you get to eat it.
I fast to lose weight. Typically it is simply skipping breakfasts. After a few days it doesn’t bother you, the feeling hungry part.
But I have noticed, the feeling of hunger, the desire of wanting food, can be brought on by thinking about eating, or smelling food. My stomach physically reacts to both stimuli.
Hypothesis: thinking about food makes you feel hungry. Feeling hungry causes your body to eat its fat reserves.
Literally, thinking about food causes you to lose weight.Â
