A short YouTube clip by TJ Walker (uploaded July 22, 2022) advising viewers that self-talk shapes eating behavior: labeling oneself as having a “sweet tooth” encourages sugar consumption, whereas adopting healthy self-descriptions (e.g., “I like to eat healthy” or “I’m a healthy person”) can reorient habits.
Stop telling yourself I have a sweet tooth. Well, guess what. All human beings are genetically programmed to crave sweets. It's been that way for hundreds of thousands of years. But by telling yourself I have a sweet tooth, you're programming yourself to eat more candy, to eat more sugar. Start telling yourself, I like to eat healthy. I'm a healthy person. That will reorient your habits accordingly. Follow the TJ Walker habit.
