A new study has said that people who believe that they are food addicts, or foodies, eat less. The study has found that the foodies are concerned about their eating behaviour. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom.
Say the researchers, Until now no studies have looked at whether believing oneself to be a food addict influences how much we eat. (We) examined the impact of changing participants` personal food addiction beliefs on eating behaviour. Participants who were told they scored highly in food addiction went on to consume fewer calories than those who were told they had a low or average score. The same participants reported greater concern about their eating behaviour.
