I was browsing the internet a while ago and I bumped into this local food blog which really made me salivate through her food photography. This blog led me to other different food blogs which offers the same beautiful photos of food. Then I find myself getting really hungry just by looking at those photos How about you? Do you also get hungry just by looking at food photos you see on the internet?

LOL, I have definitely been there before. It's awful when it happens late at night too when it's not the best time to go out to look for food or to be snacking. Getting hungry now just thinking about it!

I normally feel so hungry when I am looking at the food photos. I enjoy cooking and therefore I like looking up new recipes via the net. Sometimes I will also buy the cooking books or watch the cooking TV shows. The food is always attractive for me and I can't help feeling hungry. I think this is very common:) I love China

Not actually feeling hungry but crave. I remember times when me and other friends are talking foods through Fcebook and then they started posting photos of foods in our walls. It gives me the feeling of craving and it even drive me to buy some to satiate the cravings...duh..(diet)

I usually get hungry by just looking at pictures of foods and I usually want also to cook it.Sometimes,I cook and prepare foods that I see in the internet or invent.

Since I'm working at weight loss I'm changing my attitude on those photos. Not that they are always something I need to jump from my seat to go make. There's a blogger who makes amazing chocolate gooey goodness.... I figure this is how I get my fix for sweets I look at the pictures and tell my self I can't throw the time I've spent away nor the money for ingredients to try to recreate this treat and spend more time and money trying to burn it off so I can get to my goal sooner than later.

Hello there Ladyhemingway. Whenever I see some pictures of delicious food, I think they don't really make me hungry. They only make me crave for some food to eat. I love looking at some colorful and yummy food in some sites I use. At times, while using Facebook, I could see some of my friends' photos of the delicious food they were able to eat. While staring at their food, I'm also craving to eat something like those but they don't really make me hungry. My tummy doesn't become hungry but my mind really craves for something to munch. In that case, I wanted to buy some delicious food too so I would also be satisfied. I want to eat something so tasty so I won't dream of it while sleeping. Happy myLotting. :)

Yes of course even if I am already full when looking at the photos make me hungry again it is because how it was shot and presented. Sometimes the ordinary shot can make me hungry too but it depends on the situation.

Oh yeah, lol! I am so guilty of this. I don't know why but even if I just ate and I saw a really delicious-looking image of food, especially if it's my favorite, I can't help but feel hunger pangs. I don't know if it's just my visual hunger or I really suddenly become hungry. Good thing I don't give in easily to these temptations.

Hi, Not really hungry, but eat the same looking on the photo. It happened many times that people used to send the forwards of such nice photos of ice creams, and many of such eatables and we really feel like eating and as you said, though we are not hungery, we think to eat or tasted them. I think this is a psychological phenomenon and it happens to everyone.
