RE: The call of the cookies: priming and how it affects you

in #psychology7 years ago

:) My strategy is to be very focused when I go to the supermarket.
If I never buy unhealthy food I won't have any unhealthy priming at home. I still do get weak though when shopping, but I am aware that the battle starts in the shopping mall.

Great strategy, ronni! It's the best when you don't even buy the tempting junk foods at all! The battle definitely starts in the shopping mall. I noticed also that if I'm hungry when I'm shopping, I'll tend to buy more unhealthy foods. Also if I go shopping with the kids, somehow more junk food finds its way home.
