Great comment! You are absolutely right -- if you're not hungry -- don't eat. If you are -- make sure you eat something that's good for your body. And, slow down and take your time. Give your brain a chance to realize you're full before you keep packing in more food. Appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Shanti, Ron Rink Thanks, Nia. Great comment! You are absolutely right — if you’re not hungry — don’t eat. If you are — make sure you eat something that’s good for your body.

And, slow down and take your time. Give your brain a chance to realize you’re full before you keep packing in more food.

The food in the household needs to be fit for everyone in the household. Clean natural food works for everybody. Nothing else need cross your threshold! And prepare it however you like...raw, cooked, seasoned, mixed, juiced...whatever! No need to make any announcements. Just do it. every day, discard some junk and bring in some good. No need to confront any complaints with more than, "okay", "you're right", "thanks for reminding me" or whatever. Then all you have to do to lose weight is to eat less and maintain the same level of activity, or increase your activity if you want. The key thin is to eat less. There are many ways to achieve that but they all boil down to making a consious choice. Before putting anything in your mouth. STOP. Ask yourself, "Am I really hungry? If the answer is now then don't put anything in your mouth. Excuse yourself from the table or simple walk away from the food. Go to the rest room, wash your ace, comb your hair, read a book, do the laundry, take a nap, whatever, find a distraction. Eating is more of a habit than a need for calories or nutrition. The less you actually eat, the less you actually eat on auto pilot, the less food you'll actually want. and when you do DECIDE to take that bite, do whatever it takes to chew it for a while...count "twenty chews" of 15 seconds or whatever. This was a great post. If Twinkies aren't good for you, they are not good for any BODY in your household. This was sooooo right on the money!
