Still Feeling Peckish between Meals?
Let’s say you’ve been following along with the tips I gave you already. You’re eating often, but not much, making sure you’re chewing thoroughly, and including a good bit of protein in each little meal.
But even before the ol’ clock says it’s time for refueling, the ol’ tum is saying “feeeed me.” “Just a little.” Well, we all know how much “just a little” can turn into.
I read this tip a while back and didn’t think much of it. But recently I did it for other reasons and it had the desired effect so I thought you should know.
Just go brush your teeth. Do a good job with toothpaste if that’s how you would normally do it. Do this right after every little meal or whenever you start to feel a hint of wanting to have a snack. For some reason, the psyche doesn’t want to mess up that clean feeling in your mouth and so you don’t want to put any junk in it any more. Or maybe the teeth brushing is something you normally do right before you go through a period of not eating and so it’s linked to “not eating time” in your mind. However it works, I was astonished at how quickly and completely my desire for a snack went away.
Try it and let me know how it works for you. –Di
