Do you think eating sweet food will make you happy?

I think it's psychological? Eating sweets doesn't make me either happy or sad. It's just like for someone who has a habit of peeling / biting their nails when they are nervous, which they feel more relaxed after doing it? I guess if I'm not the peeling nail type, peeling or not peeling doesn't affect me at all?

I don't know. There are some people who are so obsessed with losing weight that if they do eat chocolate or something else they deem fattening, they get depressed.I feel I am the opposite. When I am happy , I want something sweet. When I am upset, I can't eat.But then again I have never been on a diet. I am lucky to have enough money to eat what I like when I like.

Hi youless, I think sweet food like choclate and other things does set us in a good mood and I do agree with you that it helps to fight depressions and bad mood. I do think that eating sweets in moderation do help us in our daily life. the problem is to eat choclate in moderation.

i think that chocolate can male you feel a little happy when you are depress. though it does not work for me all the time. when i feel lonely or depressed i am not much of a sweet food eater. or sometimes it depends on my mood. i can eat chips, or i like eating popcorn in some other time when i feel down. or sometimes a good cup of coffee makes me feel ok.

I am sure it's right. I am a sweets person, although I am watching how much I eat compared to when I was younger. I get in a bad mood if I am out of my chocolate stash. Marsha

I don't think eating sweet food will make me happy, because my teeth hurt this day. And, i feel depressed this day and better eating porridge. It depend how situation, and i am happy again if my teeth already recovery.

I think its there is an ingredient in chocolates that makes a person feel better, but I don't think that all sweet foods work that way. That is why I always prefer chocolate food to sugary food or chocolate bars versus candies.

[i]Hi youless, I am not into sweet but I know people who loves sweet like my Sister, seeing or receiving chocolates is already heaven for her....LOL! I guess this is true to those who loves it and whatever type of food we like, once we can eat it, it will always makes us [/i]happy!

Hi youless! It is a popular belief and I am not really sure if it is backed scientifically that chocolates can really make one happy. I have searched the net and found this information: "For the reason that chocolates are full of carbohydrates, these increase the level of tryptophan in the brain. Such chemical produces more serotonin. The latter results into regulating one’s mood and often creates a jolly and positive feeling." I got it from this link: http://www.lifeinfozone.com/foods-beverages/what-are-the-emotional-effects-of-making-chocolates/ I guess, I will store some chocolates in the fridge in case of emergency (when somebody get depressed)! lol Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

Hi youless! Well, anything sweet will make us HAPPY and not just happy but alive and kicking! Because those glucose are converted to energy that's why we are always awake and alive all the time. Well, it's true that chocolates can make those women fat, when those girls had a fast metabolism. But like, a skinny girl I always eat chocolates but nothings happen.

Eating chocolate causes the brain to release serotonin, a neurotransmitter that controls mood. This release of serotonin can cause a slight elevation in mood. Eating sweet foods or sugar, on the other hand, is different. Sugar causes what people commonly refer to as a "sugar high", which can cause people to temporarily feel happy or full of energy. This quickly wears off, however, and results in the also well-known "sugar crash"...which has the opposite effect.

Eating something sweet can sometimes make me feel good.lol

Hi, i think eating is a great way for me to release my stress. and eating candy and chocolate is really makes me feel happy. =p

yup..it makes me feel happy to eat sweet food..they are sweet..delicious and easy to get from the grocery..not to mention cheaper than other food...lol..XD

i think No. actually i do not like sweet food as such. I guess it will make me fat. so it does not make me happy.

Not necessarily but I do want to have some sweet food when I feel a bit upset, a cake or something would make me feel temporarily better when I am upset about something. But on a usual day, sweet food doesn't change my mood that much!

Hello youless. I think that it has the possibilities that eating sweet food would make you happy as well as some other tastes. Chocolate is also one of my favorites. I love chocolates of different ingredients. Take care, youless.

I love white chocolate. It makes me happy. Sometimes I feel guilty for eating too much ice cream and other sweets, but I eat anyway.

It can or will make me happy but not healthy. To much sweets will raise my sugar level and might trigger me to have diabetes and that's a lifetime illness. It's ok to eat sweet but everyone should put up some limitations coz it can give us a fatal disease when we grow old..

I think eating chocolate will make you happy or maybe cake or known treats..but not everything that is sweet will make you happy.It might actually increase carbs, but it's not known that you have to stay away from chocolate when losing weight...
