Losing weight and cooking shows??!!! :p

  • ello,

    Does anyone find it odd that i love watching cooking shows when im on a diet %) ,,,,, i love when they list out ingredients, put everything together and are cooking cooking cooking..... Watching competitions like Master Chef and cooking programmes has become a regular feature whenever im trying to lose weight,,,, Funny thing is, it doesnt make me crave any of the food being cooked,, nor does it tempt me,,, rather, i feel satisfied :s am i crazyyyyyyyyyyyy?????? does anyone else do this????
  • I'm just the opposite! I love Top Chef, Chopped, and all the shows... but the food looks soooo good, I start craving it
  • hahah yes, I find it odd. ;op

    I would be running to the kitchen or out to grab whatever they were making!
  • I love them, too. I've always watched them. I'm a foodie, so when I see those shows I try to find ways to replicate the dish - or still make it and just not eat as much. lol
  • Not at all. If anything, it's since I started losing weight that I'm obsessed with the Food Network and the cooking shows on BBC Lifestyle. I had zero interest before.
  • I too watch the cooking shows. They don't causem to have cravings, but I think they do inspire me to cook. Rather than run to a pizza place or fastfood.

    Once I heard someone say Food Network is porn for dieters! Still makes me giggle.
