Thinking about food is an interesting challenge
So last Sunday I taped a show called “I Can Make You Thin” on TLC. I did it as kind of a lark, not really expecting much out of it. It’s hosted by a guy called Paul McKenna, and he’s annoying as hell. But despite that, I was pleasantly surprised when I sat down and watched it a couple nights ago. I’m not saying there was any earth shattering news in it, but some of the ways he approached how you should eat were really interesting.
His 4 Golden Rules actually make a lot of sense, and I’m going to try them out myself as a way to eat. I’ve already started to be more deliberate about eating my meals, and he’s right. You do feel full sooner if you approach it that way. I’ve heard part of the reason is that your stomach doesn’t begin sending out “I’m full” signals until 15 minutes into a meal, so if you wolf food down you won’t feel full until it’s too late.
Now, I’m not completely buying in to everything he’s saying yet. For instance, his entire apprach seems to be on modification of how you eat and not excercise, specific nutrition, etc; But certainly the approach itself makes sense. So check out his website on www.tlc.com/thin if you’re interested.
