Our culture bombards women with conflated notions of food and emotions well-being. You need merely look at how low-fat cookies are marketed to women to see how they may be influenced. It is by no means a matter of hormonal influence alone.

This is not really suprising. The best way to diet is to fill your life with stuff that will take your mind off food. Also, don’t eat the same delicious stuff all the time. Mixing up the tastes of food will keep your body from putting on the pounds.

Wow, a lot of defensive women at Neatorama.

So it’s not okay to say men are better at something, but it’s okay to say women are?

Was anybody surprised that a guy named Jack Wang would come up with results favouring men?

Agree with Gaulder. Women are better multitaskers, which presumably means that even as they focus on other things and benefit from that alternate focus, part of their brains would still be keeping track of hunger.

Well, many brain chemistry and psycholocial experts agree that women are more susceptable to emotional influence in their thinkging, so this study isn’t that much of a suprise.

Donna,

With the absenece of women, sports, monster trucks and video games, then problibly not. Maybe men are just better at distracting themselves, which causes a whole bunch of other problems.

But are men better dieters than women if they don’t have women to look at?

Oh, everyone knows what exactly what on the men’s mind, as does Dr. Jack Wang!

I’m glad I have never really needed to diet because I have no willpower.

The men were likely focusing on the women in order to get through the hunger.
