Apparently, all that task switching breaks down self control claims an article in Men’s Heath. Research sited by the Men’s Health article was conducted by doctor Ryan Hamilton, Ph.D., an assistant professor of marketing at Emory University.
“Not only can shuffling between projects cause angry outbursts or make you less motivated at the gym, it can lead to overeating and bad nutritional choices”, Hamilton said. “Losing your self control can make it more difficult to resist temptation after a busy day at work.”
And then I came across this article about junk food stating that rats would rather starve themselves then eat healthy food after a junk food binge. They literally get addicted to junk food, much like a heroin addicts gets addicted to heroin.
Obese, Dead Rat
