It’s the notion that our taste perceptions are biased by our imagination, and if you expect a food to taste good it will.  However, expectation assimilation also works in the opposite direction.  If you expect a food to taste unpleasant it will (Wansink, 2006). At a cafeteria in Urbana, Illinois, 175 people were given a free brownie dusted with powdered sugar (Wansink, 2006).  They were told the brownie was a new dessert that may be added to the menu.  They were asked how they liked the flavor and how much they would pay for it.   All of the brownies were the same size and had the same ingredients.  However, the brownies were served on a china plate, on a paper plate or on a paper napkin. Those who received the brownie on a china plate said t...

The only magazines were like Time and Newsweek and Vogue. I immediately complained to the big shots there. When you are waiting for radiation, you do not want to read serious stuff about the economy. You want to read about Kim Kardashial's butt or the latest celebrity busted for drunk driving. So I demanded more trash magazines and you know what they said? You are absolutely right. I was assured that the room will be stocked with star, People, and whatever else there is. Suddenly it became clear to me what my new profession should be. I shall become a "cancer consultant." I will go around telling people how to treat patients with cancer, and make them pay me for it. Come on, it is no stupider than ...

But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a ton of things we want to fit in over the next few days: Have some chocolate. Even if it’s just a little square, we’ll be having a bite of chocolate this weekend. It was its birthday, we have to. It would be rude not to. Go camping. We’re ready to head out into the great outdoors and rough it for a night or two. But only with our eco-friendly camping supplies, of course. Read some foodie lit. We love reading about food almost as much as we love eating it (okay, maybe not that much). We might even read some good advice about how to eat well without gaining weight. Have a snack. Sometimes you just feel like snacking. We’ll be ...

As a card carrying member of the “sweet tooth club,” I know what it’s like to want something sweet after a meal. If you’re trying to make changes to cut back on sweets and lots of added sugars, it can be daunting thinking about giving up the sweet things you like. The key is to find a healthy middle ground. There are no “good” or “bad” foods. The idea of restricting really just makes you want it more. Instead, think about how often you have heavier desserts like cake and ice cream. Keep the portion to a few bites. But, have low-calorie sweet treats more often when you crave a little something sweet. Here are a few refreshing desserts that will be sure to satisfy. They are delicious and healthy sweet treats that will get you thro...

Here’s what they said instead: Does that morning chart thing you did really work? Can you send it to me? Did you make it yourself? Which font makes check boxes? Did you give the kids a prize at the end? And here’s what I realized: While we might think our parent friends are essential for talking out the big stuff, the “Is my kid going to end up in therapy because I…” moments, we really just need them for their tricks. Because this is how we get our really good parenting skills – the kind that make us feel like we’re cheating in the parenting game, a...

It’s gotten lost amid buzz words like “diet,” “restriction,” “willpower” and “flat abs.” It’s sandwiched between the sizable stacks of “shoulds”: I should diet. I should abstain from dessert. I should count calories. I should avoid “bad” foods. I should have an invisible stomach, smaller hips and thin thighs. While reading Purge: Rehab Diaries (stay tuned for the review) by Nicole Johns, about the author’s experiences in an eating disorder center, I came across the following definition of normal eating. It was created by Ellyn Satter, an expert on eating and feeding. Satter writes: “Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied.

You can’t avoid them forever, and ignoring them won’t make them go away. Come Thanksgiving, they’ll plop down right next to you and ask to borrow your fork. So you’d better figure out how to confront the little devils before they eat your dessert too. Here are a few fun ideas for how to tell your fears to hit the bricks. 1. Yell at them. Tell them to go to a place where there are no lemonade stands. 2. Laugh at them. A good technique: start with “ha” and end with “hee.” 3. Talk about them. Preferably to a friend, over a cup of strong coffee. 4. Scare them away. Any mask will do, but any beast or vampire getup is particularly effective. 5. Dress them up.

As a baby, while he did have more than a few gross motor delays), he had no difficulty learning to nurse. We’re not always or, indeed, often sure about what Charlie might be thinking due to his limited language, but we’ve generally been able to assume that he’s ever ready to eat. And then, this summer—-amid various other changes—a most curious thing happened. Charlie (who is definitely an adolescent) must be in the throes of a growth spurt. He’s needed new shoes after only a few months and shirts that seemed loose and baggy now are just the right length. He’s gotten decidedly lanky and lean. And he’s been eating less than he usually has, and left fries and burgers uneaten...

On the one hand, we’re inundated with images of emaciated models (and supposed role models) and ads for waist-whittling diets, while, on the other hand, we’re also bombarded with grave warnings about the escalating obesity epidemic. No doubt all of this confuses parents—terrified that they’re spoon feeding their kids diabetes and high blood pressure, along with a host of other health problems. Certainly, these kinds of messages are confusing and terrifying for kids, too, who begin to dislike their bodies and want to be thin. To get there, children are restricting their food intake at younger and younger ages. In an article published in The Great Falls Tribune this week, Nicole Rosenleaf Ritte...

You will be so much less inclined to stuff your face with the fillers and high carb fluff! 2. Offer to bring a dish, especially a dessert dish, that you know all the nutritional content about. This will allow you to enjoy a small amount of sweets without gorging yourself on 101 sugar cookies and cheesecake bites. And what is even better… you know exactly what the carb count and serving size is so you can enjoy without worry. 3. Bring your own beverages. I know you think it is tacky but I do it all the...
