Thread: How to use Lucid Dreaming to help with your diet???

The only thing that comes to mind is eating lots of food in your LDs, it helps quench the desire to eat afterwards.

usually excersize would be the way to go, not sleep

yeah, just eat all the junk food you want in a dream.

Sleep is not gonna help your metabolism.

That being said I supposed you could try to eat things in your dreams instead of real life.
I'm not sure how much this is going to screw with your digestive system though. It seems that other systems in your body are very cued in to what goes on in your dreams. Whether or not you are going to be better or worse of for making it think food is coming and then denying it, I don't know.

WHAT I do know is that dieting is a matter of behavioral habits. Fat people EAT TOO MUCH, regardless of what they eat. And so eating in your sleep, the fixation on food, and the perpetuation of that focus on food into your dreams and the continuation of eating while you are asleep, well... I don't know how helpful that would be.

Eating little things in dreams can be fun just to see what your mind comes up with. Often times flavors are very weird, some times they are amazing. It's not something I'd waste my dreams on. I'm trying to diet right now and revamp my whole body, and there's no way I would consider eating in my dreams. I'm not sure what the physical repercussions are, and I'm afraid of the mental ones. I'm trying to break my habit of overeating, not facilitate it in some way. I guess if you used it to wean yourself off of food, by eating more in your dreams than in real life over a period of time, and then fading out eating in dreams, it could be better.

In the case of dieting when you are not fat (which does not mean that you are in shape), but you are trying to eat better, I think it might be able to help you. I'd play tricks on myself, like open a refrigerator, take out the healthiest thing inside, and make it taste like chocolate cake to reward myself for doing a good job. Something like this would I think be VERY useful in changing your behavior. Positive reinforcement FTW!

yep.

Instead of flying and having sex in your dreams just pig out. Maybe you wont have as many food cravings during the day...

eat the junkiest foods you can in the highest amounts while LDing...heck, it doesn't have to be an LD, as long as you can induce that dream and recall it, you'll feel whatever you felt in the dream

a legitimate use of LDing is to stop cravings by indulging in those cravings when dreaming

there was actually a reference to this in "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming"
