Interesting SNV

[Margo 0]

I had an interesting discovery today and actually it's a SNV!!! I could never watch the food Channel because: (1) I would have to find something to eat while watching it, (2) could not even consider making any of the recipes since I would eat half of it just cooking it then 3 servings at dinner and (3) I felt like a pig just watching all that food!

BUT, tonight my daughter and I watched together and enjoyed every minute and I got a great recipe for an appetizer (which I needed for a party)! I did not eat while watching, I know I will not eat any while cooking (don't do that any more or I can't eat dinner!!) and I did not feel like a pig watching all the food instead I figured out how to cut some of the calories and still have it taste yummy!!! I was on another board and someone there said they no longer consider the Food Channel as "food porn".....too funny!!!!!

Just wanted to share......thanks

When I was banded I shared a room with a woman that had a different surgery then I did, she was watching FoodNetwork and then asked what I was there for. When I told her WLS she couldn't have changed the channel any faster. I told her that it didn't bother me and that I was actually enjoying the show. I watched it everyday of my liquid phase and it never bothered me. I have actually made several of the meals for the 30 min meal show and they were quite good. I love to see people enjoy life and if a chef really likes what he/she does then great for them, I figure just cuz they make it don't mean I gotta eat it. Like Emerial says it's a food of love thing, some people really do put love in every dish. I know that make my family meals with extra love and care, so I guess I see that in most of the chefs on Foodnetwork. ~Mandy

Whenever I want to lose my hunger pangs, I put on the Japanese version of Iron Chef. They make some of the most disgusting things on earth.

It's fun to watch, and kills my appetite.

LOL...Big Paul...too funny! That is when I always turn it...I can only watch so much gross stuff. But I do love the food TV...food porn that it is. I try not to watch too much of it, because it does tend to make me want to snack more.

food Porn is so true!!!

This thread is so funny! Every Saturday and Sunday morning I love to watch the food Network. I've gotten so I enjoy food by proxy...I use my imagination and try to think of how good all the different foods would taste. I've found I do this at the grocery store. Just last night I was staring into the ice cream case just imagining the taste of it on my tongue and savoring the idea of it. But then I walked away. I don't know when this shift happened in me, but it takes me forever to shop but I only end up buying three things. I suppose it's like wandering around a Mercedes lot in a rusted out Toyota and imaginging how great I'd look in one of them, yet knowing that I really don't need one.

I have always loved the food Network channel! I even TiVO some of the shows. Tyler florence is my favorite. And the best thing that came out of that channel after I had my surgery was watching Essence of Emeril and FINALLY learning how to make the perfect omellette! I was happy and proud of myself. I always screwed them up before and ended up just scrambling the eggs! LOL~ Food Porn? ooooooh yeah!
