Times of India - Planning, visualising improve eating habits

If you want to improve the way you eat, the best way to do so is to first make an action plan and then visualise yourself carrying it out, researchers say.

"Telling people to just change the way they eat doesn't work; we've known that for a while," says Bärbel Knäuper of McGill's Department of Psychology.

"What we've done that's new is to add visualisation techniques to the action plan," adds Knauper, the journal Psychology and Health reports.
