Okay, who's up to try something simple but kinda revolutionary? Here's what I propose:
Eat whatever you want to for breakfast, lunch, dinner or whenever else you're hungry -- but stop at 10 bites. If you start a meal (or a snack for that matter) knowing that you have only 10 bites of food, you're going to pick the best looking, tastiest pieces of food on your plate. Or if you're at a buffet, you won't feel compelled to try everything. After all, why waste some of your bites on so-so looking potato salad when you can go for a couple of bites of yummy-looking baked beans.
Eat each of your bites slowly, enjoy the texture and the taste of the food. After you've completed your 10th bite, wait for 15-20 minutes. Chances are you won't feel those hunger pangs any more!
True, you might be hungry again in a couple of hours, but guess what? You can have another 10 bites of food! Again, here's a suggestion: When you feel like you're hungry, wait 30 mins. before you eat -- just to make sure you're truly hungry (stomach hungry, not head hungry
).
So ... anybody wanna give this a try with me?! Post here and we'll do it together
