Yes, you CAN think yourself slim
NO MATTER how determined you are to drop a few pounds, it only takes an unthinking hand to reach into a bowl of crisps or a momentary flash of boredom to send you searching through the fridge, for all your best dieting intentions to be lost. Because even if you've got cast-iron willpower and a looming weight-loss deadline, if your mind is still playing tricks with you ('Go on, have a biscuit, you deserve it' or 'What harm is another glass of wine going to do?'), your slenderness goals are doomed to fail. Besides tanking your blood sugar, driving up cortisol and tripwiring your metabolism, sugar drives you to constantly look for your next fix.
