Adherence

Exposure to digital images of appetizing food (visual hunger) triggers neural, physiological, and attentional responses that increase food craving and consumption, potentially exacerbating obesity.

Be aware that scrolling through food images on social media or watching cooking shows can trigger physiological hunger responses and increase your likelihood of overeating when you do consume food. If you are trying to manage your weight, consider limiting exposure to highly appetizing food imagery, especially when you are already hungry.
