Cravings

Hello,

Our appetites are partially controlled by our biological clock or
"circadian rhythm" This clock is synchronized by the amount of daylight we
get through our eyes.

I can stop my evening carbohydrate cravings by making sure I get enough
daylight in the afternoon. By not getting enough bright light our bodies
think it's continually a time of winter food shortages. These winter food
shortages often meant starvation for our hunter-gatherer ancestors.
Evolution and natural selection has given our bodies a way to help prevent
possible starvation by jacking-up the appetite to motivate us to find more
food to eat.

You can try this for yourself when you have time. Go outside for the
afternoon. Don't stare at the sun, but look straight ahead. If the day is
very cloudy look straight up at the sky. Don't wear sunglasses. This
technique may stop evening carb cravings immediately or may take a few
tries.

Or you could just have a piece of cheese and a glass of water, and save the
ten dollars. You can try that without leaving the house!

Huh? You have to pay 10 dollars to go outside?

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Check the link in the OP. I should left it in, but got crazy with the
trimming. The damn post is nothing but spam inviting you to spend $10 for
some snakeoil bull****.

Geez, I know this wouldn't work for me. I get hungry lying in the sun on
the beach at noontime in the middle of summer ...

Hmm... nope.

My own circadian rhythms are pretty screwed up-- I'm pretty sure I have Delayed
Sleep Phase Syndrome-- and I've been up nights and sleeping most days for
several years.

My food cravings have only responded to changes in diet-- they went away with
the LC WOE. They come back if I eat trigger foods. The days that I've gotten
more sunlight (vacations, time spent in other time zones, weird, blissful
periods of "normal" nighttime sleep), I've not experienced noticeable
differences in food cravings, neither during LC or high-carb periods, with
regards to amount of sunlight.

YMMV I guess, but it sounds pretty hokey to me.
