Ok, now I think I've heard everything! In this month's issue of First, 10/1/07, there is an article that says, and I quote, "disorder in the kitchen causes the stress hormone cortosol to soar, increasing the urge to impulsively eat' -!!!!! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I just don't believe it.

Just what I need another excuse for my weight problem! LOL!
Actually when my house is in a mess, as it at the moment, I feel less like eating. I like the house to be a least tidy before I eat, it is just more relaxing that way!

I don't believe that. I know that at least for me, if my kitchen is messy, it makes me less likely to want to eat. If I don't feel like cleaning, I don't even want to set foot in the kitchen when it's messy. I really don't want to go in there and eat everything in sight. lol

No I have never heard of this before and I do not believe it either when I had a small Kitchen it was cluttered because I had to much Stuff lol but it certainly did not drive me to eat so I have no clue where that one has come from lol

LOL DJ9020, and no, I do not believe it either, as if it was the truth I would have been fat by now, maybe 200+ pounds or so :) Who is the one comming up with such statements I wonder, and do they get paid for it too? :D

Seems like they're quoting from 'Fit to Live' - "jumbles on countertops register in the brain as information overload, tripping a biochemical trigger that's especially dangerous in the kitchen since it spikes appetite in the very place where food is most handy". HUH???
