It's more about eating healthy, rather than losing weight. His premise: "eat food. not too much. mostly plants."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615156186192493130.post-14995165169905404442010-01-28T10:33:13.941-08:002010-01-28T10:33:13.941-08:00Somethings I've found helpful when eating to s...Somethings I've found helpful when eating to satisfy the hunger without overeating:<br /><br /> * Eat slowly<br /> * Have eating be the sole activity (don't eat while reading or programming)<br /><br />Eating slowly has taken a lot of reprogramming. Some tricks I learned include putting as little on your fork/spoon as you can, take a break between spoonfuls. If you find yourself eating quickly, push the food away for a bit as a "timeout".dagitjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10574172070227922360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615156186192493130.post-4817820368977333842010-01-28T07:56:41.708-08:002010-01-28T07:56:41.708-08:00That makes a lot of sense.

He recommends 5 small meals a day (low fat, lean protein, high fiber, good carbs (low GI), water to drink) as a way to keep digestion revved up. <br /><br />It has worked well for me, anyway. The hardest part is the long term commitment -- after a few years, it's easy to slip a little and let that become the norm. That's what's happening to me now.<br /><br />(I like his first book (mentioned above) better than his second, '5-Factor Diet'.)<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
