Is it true that people are fat because they think of food as fattening and you can lose weight by thinking that food makes you thin?
Gallantmon
The food that you eat becomes digested by your body. After digestion what is required by the body is used and what is not required presently is stored for future use, mostly as fats. how you perceive the food/fat does not make any difference to the processes of digestion and storage that go on in your body. People gain weight because of lack of exercise, the type of food and the amount of food eaten, age and their genes. How individuals think about food influences how much they eat rather than how much fat they store. So, to answer the question, the statement is not true.
== == As a side note, the only way mentality affects your weight is stress. The more stressed you are, the more stress is put in your body, and the more stress is put on your body, the more it gets worn out. You can lose a lot of weight and get sick from too much stress.
Anorexics obsessively think of food as fattening and they are quite dangerously thin. Perception does not change physiology.
