Anyone watching this? As a devotee of Weight Watchers, I was skeptical. His premise is:
1. When you are hungry, eat.
2. Eat what you want.
3. Eat consciously.
4. When you are full, stop.
The thing I found most interesting is eating consciously. He talks about putting the fork down between bites and really chewing the food and enjoying the flavor. This slows you down, and gives your brain more time to receive the "I'm full" from your stomach. I hate to admit it, but I have found this a nice compliment to Weight Watchers. I realized that I was eating so fast, that I was barely tasting the food, let alone realizing I was full. I would just eat until my portion was gone - never thinking that less than one serving might fill me up..
Last week, he had some method of dealing with emotional eating, and this week he is talking about cravings. I'm not sure about the whole package, but at least the one part was helpful. Anyone else tried his tips?
