Hi friends, Have you ever thought that the culprit behind many of us being overweight is our taste buds? Every time we think of dieting or even resisting the temptation to junk food and eat nutritious food instead,our taste buds get the better of us and our decision! We crave to get a bite of chocolate or an ice-cream,french fries or pizza. And the next thing we do is to go and help ourselves to these lip-smacking items, forgetting all about eating healthy and weight control. Actually we are catering to the demands of our taste buds and not our stomach! Each time something appeals to our taste buds,we eat more of eat and satisfy ourselves,not exactly to relieve hunger but because it tastes good! Thus I conclude that our taste buds dominate us! What are your views? Please share.

hell0! well, i really like, I even love to eat sweeties like chocolate, cakes, biscuits, but they all don't actually reflect on my weight and I am really happy about it, and it is so maybe because I do exercises every day and never eat things like these too late at night :)

You are really lucky my friend! I have always had a tendency of gaining weight since my childhood and more so because I eat so much of fatty foods as they are all so tasty to my taste buds!I have recently started exercising and hope to get into shape again but I cannot resist the temptation to good food.

I am glad to hear that you are not over-weight. I am! In the last three years I have put on 10 kilograms and now I am down with knee problems too. However I cannot resist the temptation to good food!
