Without realizing it was a woman was choosing what foods to consume. The most influential factor is the woman who will eat. If eating with men, the women choose smaller portions to get attention.
If a woman eating with men, then the food would choose more foods that are low in calories than if he was eating with fellow women. This is based on research from McMaster University, who published in the journal Appetite.
"Someone in choosing a lunch or evening is very influenced by friends eating and sex of the group meal," says Meredith Young, PhD from the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behavior at McMaster University, as quoted by ScienceDaily, Friday (28 / 8 / 2009).
Based on the results of a study of students at 3 different major universities with a variety of food choices, Young found that women who ate with men choosing foods that are low caloric value and differed significantly compared to women who eat with the women, too.
Other results, while women who ate there with a group of men and women who choose foods that are calorie mkanan very low, when compared with women who ate with a group of men only. Whereas if a woman ate together with all women groups, then it chooses a high-calorie foods.
"Eating is one of the social activities that make people learn to socialize. Besides, there is a tendency of women do not want to look fat or eating too much before the opposite sex," said Young.
However, Young was not surprised by these results. Because the food and advertising industries with products targeted women prefer to use slim models or even thinner than the average size of a woman. In other words, a slender woman will look healthier and more feminine. And women believe that if she ate a little portion will get attention from men.
Whereas for men, a study shows that men are not too concerned about what to eat if you're with a woman or with other men.
Whatever is consumed the most important thing is to continue eating foods that are healthy and nutritious, because it's thin body is not necessarily always better and a lot of things you can do to attract men. (Source: Detikhealth)
