I got your perfect diet right here

1. Eat only when your stomach is growling. Sounds simple enough, but think about it. Do you really eat only when you're hungry?

2. Drink a lot of water or tea half an hour before your meals. It will fill you up a little and extra fluid is good for you anyway.

3. Eat half of what you are used to eating.

4. Eat slowly. Give your stomach time to tell your brain the tank is full. "Fast food" is the greatest culinary atrocity. Speed kills.

5. Take vitamin and mineral supplements that compliment your particular diet.

6. Make smart food choices and keep in mind we are omnivores.

Sounds good - but also take the time what kind of food suits your body type the best.

never mind.

Anyway, it's not what goes into your mouth, but what comes out that you have to worry about.

Oh yeah, the concentrated evil, as Father Hubertus used to call it.

Buy a dinner set with smaller plates.

Amazing how effective that can be.

It doesn't seem to work at the casino buffet in Las Vegas. People just come back for more. They're not fooled by small plates.

 

[Shannow]

Yeah, it doesn't work in those settings.

But in your house, when you make a full plate...

... I still know an optical illusion when I see one. ;-)

Seriously, I haven't had a weight problem in years. Now, where are those donuts?
