That is, and has been, my excuse for a few decades now.
Not My Fault (trademark pending).
I’ve been saying, quite seriously, for years now that if I simply smell food, I gain five pounds minimum.
Whatever it is that makes people fat, it’s definitely not eating too much. At least we know that.
Dumb article. Everybody knows that weight increase is caused by Global Warming.
Jimmy John’s could be sued by people struggling with their weight. Jimmy John’s offers “free smells.” Looks like they have been causing obesity.
Carbs are what do most people in.
They raise insulin levels and when insulin levels are high, when you eat more carbs and protein than your body needs to maintain itself, it stores the extra as fat.
Note to self: to lose weight, eat bland, uncooked food!
The smells I produce after I eat at Jimmy Johns...that should cause concern.
I can gain weight looking at pictures on the menu!
But did they all eat the whole thing and consume the same calorie count?
The smells in the can make you fat?
A new study out of the University of California, Berkeley, and published in Cell Metabolism found that one’s sense of smell is linked to weight gain. But how can that be? The study says it is possibly related to the way your body stores or burns fat.
Sounds straightforward to me.
But much science is measuring and confirming what seems common sense and obvious.
But did they all eat the whole thing and consume the same calorie count?
Those that were more tuned in to the smell likely ate more calories.
Some smells can not only make you fat, but can also give you a case of the hibigeebies and in extreme cases can cause rapid weight loss.
My son was just hired to empty out a house that was abandoned 4 years ago. Included fridge and freezer full of good but no electricity for a long time. He should drop a few pounds after this weekend. Weight loss began when he had to run outside to puke when he opened the fridge.
Styrofoam pellets used for packing are best to curb appetite, very filling.
So you think these stupid scientists didn’t control how much food each group of rats ate?
I think maybe you are letting what you want to believe control the data you allow into your brain. Some people don’t want to be bothered with facts that challenge their beliefs.
Im weird: I disagree. Sometimes just the smell of delicious foods is deeply satisfying, especially when I know eating it will make me feel sick or bad in some way. I LOVE delicious smelling food and walking through a bakery doesnt make me fat at all! My house smells like homemade apple pie right now and I wont be eating one slice!
