The Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel recently had an article about personality and nutrition and whether a person sticks to a healthy diet due to sheer will power or the amount of knowledge that a person has on nutrition.
Our personality and our knowledge on food and nutrition greatly shape our outlook and feelings towards food and thus what and when we eat.
“When we get stressed, we tend to eat foods that are lower in nutritional value, which is a double-edged sword. Now, you are in a cycle that just leads to feeling worse,” says registered dietitian and American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Amy Jamieson-Petonic.
What most of us need is a diet that is made specifically for us and is in line with our personalities so that we don’t thrown in the towel after the first couple of days due to our partying ways and busy lifestyles. We look at the different types of personalities and match them to the types of diets - which we are sure most, if not some of us, can relate to!
