Is it normal I like to watch the food channel even though i'm on a diet?

Am I the only one who does this? It's weird, but I feel like the temptation actually motivates me even more. Lol, weird right?

I watch Food Network Canada all the time. I find it motivates me to cook, and I need to cook more if I'm to get my diet straightened out. It's a win-win situation.

I'm the same way. I don't know if it helps me learn how to cook, or just makes me crave (and potential) to eat!

i love watching the food network.   Honestly, it doesn't change anything for me.  I am just really into cooking and i love watching the methods they use.  Never thought about it before, but it doesn't really make me crave anything at all.

Diners Drive-ins and Dives= "Food Porn"

Sometimes I watch the food network when I'm working out. 'cause I'm sadistic and like to tease myself. lol 

but also I like ideas for cooking. I find it doesn't make me crave. If I see something on there that looks good I just like admire how good it must taste. lol i'm weird.

I can't go one day without FoodTV.

I fantasize a bit about what they're making, but on my "diet", I eat whatever I want, just not too much.  Therefore, I get lots of great ideas of things to try and share with friends.

Agree, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is just.... too good to be true.  I want his job.

I agree, it's like watching porn. If we really want to be thin and change our habits, food cannot be a source of entertainment. Switch the channel!!

Food porn;-)  gotta love it.

I have a digital convertor and PBS has a station called Create.  Lots of great cooking shows on it as well as gardening, travel and craft shows.  My favourite station right now.
Right now I am preparing a chicken recipe that I watched on Friday.
I get a lot of great ideas from Create.

Food porn helps me a lot honestly.  It's strange, but I like watching other people be able to endulge themselves in delicious things.. it kind of makes dieting easier for me.  I'm more of a cook than an eater though.. I always have been.  I will cook something delicious for someone else, pick at it, and eat something unhealthy like Bagel Bites or grilled cheese, etc.  That's all changing now though :)  But food porn is helpful to take that temptation away!

I watch when I eat. I think it tastes better watching someone make or eat soemthing really good looking. Yum.

i effin luv food channel. I love watching people enjoy food, especially like desserts. the best is unwrapped though
