Answer for 4 Bites

Hi Salad Man,

Have you ever had a great dinner in front of you and can't wait to dig in? That first bite tastes fantastic, so does the 2nd and 3rd. But after the 4th bite, even though it is still great food, it doesn't have that satisfying impact of those first few bites. But you go ahead and finish anyway, because it is still soooo good, thus adding way too much fat and calories to your 'slip up'.

Well, the "4 Bite" diet is based on that premise. If you are trying to lose weight and you've been so good, it seems like forever, but you're just craving that certain food or snack that is NOT on your diet plan, there is a way to satisfy that craving without demolishing your diet.

First drink a large glass of water, tea, etc. Then just savor "4 Bites" of whatever it is that you've been dieing to eat...and STOP!!! Put the rest away or better yet, only prepare 4 bites so you won't be tempted to eat more.

A word of caution...a bite is a bite is a bite!!! Cramming your mouth over-full is not ok and defeats the purpose. Take normal bites, slowly, so you can enjoy each to the fullest .

Now, 4 bites will not fill you up. Always have something else ready to eat that is good for you, so you can fill up on it.

If you are going to take these "4 Bites" in a restaurant, be sure of 3 things: Order plenty of healthy food along with the item you are craving; Drink plenty of water or tea while waiting for the food to arrive. Go with a friend that will take the item away from you after your "4 Bites" and put it in a doggy bag. This way you'll have it for the next time you are craving it.

Oh what we go through to lose those unwanted pounds. But remember...it's well worth it if it improves our overall health.

Anyone ever heard of the tootpaste diet? Any time you get a craving, you brush your teeth. It seems, people don't want to eat right after brushing, (Maybe they know it won't taste as good because of the lingering 'tootpaste taste'). It seems like swishing with mouthwash...the really strong stuff...would do the same and be easier on the gums.

So glad we are finally getting comments and questions. Be sure to send this blog address to all those you know that might need help losing weight.'
