I'm curious how you fix the post-lunch bias without overcompensating? Eat small snacks throughout the day instead of lunch?

- kennystone 14y agoEating isn't the problem. The problem is making decisions throughout the day. It takes willpower to say no and ask tough questions, and your willpower gets drained through the day.
- StavrosK 14y agoIs this from "Thinking, Fast and Slow"? If so, how do you know it's not actually the break/rest that helps, rather than the food? I don't see any controls in that experiment take a break of equal length but not eating, and others who ate without a break.
- samatman 14y agoAnecdote: I discovered when quitting nicotine that first thing in the morning and after lunch were the times when my willpower was weakest. Your mileage may vary.
- ianstormtaylor 14y agoDidn't "Thinking, Fast and Slow" mention that by injecting glucose again you got back to the initial state?
- StavrosK 14y agoIt might have, though I don't remember anything like that. I did look, because I disputed the conclusion, but I might have missed it anyway.
- JesseAldridge 14y agoIf you know how strong the bias is, couldn't you just weight the post-lunch scores downward by the same amount?
