7 Tricks to Break the Mindless Eating Trap

Bunny Vreeland’s Weight Reduction Hints

Dr. Bunny Vreeland says, first thing - Slow down and pay attention.

Eating your food more slowly not only helps you savor it, but also helps you to eat

less. At the University of Rhode Island, researchers invited 30 women to have dinner

in their laboratory where they were served a tasty pasta dish. The ladies were told

to eat quickly, and they finished, on average, in nine minutes. In a second test,

the same women were served the same dish but told to slow down and chew each mouthful 15 to 20 times. They were told to stop eating when they felt full. It took them about a half-hour to finish the meal. The results? When the women ate slowly, they consumed 67 fewer calories than when they wolfed down their food.

What does that mean? If you were to eliminate 67 calories at dinner every night--and

made no other changes to your lifestyle--you would lose seven pounds in a year.

Meanwhile, Brian Wansink, director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab in

Ithaca, N.Y., insists it is external factors that make us eat too much. He said that the average person makes about 200 food decisions every day, but puts real thought into only about 10 percent of them.

Bunny Vreeland says there are seven factors that encourage mindless eating:

* Distractions while we eat, such as watching TV.

* Location of the food on the table.

* Size of the plate or container.

* You'll eat more if you like what you're drinking.

* Not paying attention to the extras, such as bread.

* Too much variety.

* Dining with friends.

Seven tricks to break the mindless eating trap:

* Try to be the last person to start eating.

* Decide how much to eat before sitting down.

* Use smaller dishes so portions look larger.

* Don't eat in front of the TV or in the car.

* Eat chips or sweets only on the days you exercise.

* Cover half your plate with vegetables or salad.

* Leave serving bowls in the kitchen and not on the table.

This is to those who believe in totems?

My totem animal is a wolf, I know it is a wolf it has got to the point where i feel like a wolf trapped in a humans body, any ideas on how to release it.
Please no rude comments just honest answers.

Wolves are the epitome of stamina, known to run 35 miles a day in pursuit of prey. They are highly misunderstood animals, who have gained the reputation of being cold blooded. In reality wolves are friendly and social creatures. Aggression is something they avoid, preferring rather to growl or create a posture to show dominance. Even though living in close knit packs provide wolves with a strong sense of family, they are still able to maintain their individuality. Wolves represent the spirit of freedom, but they realize that having individual freedom requires having responsibilities.

Because wolf is a teacher and pathfinder, he comes when we need guidance in our lives. Those who have a Wolf Totem will move on to teach others about sacredness and spirituality. Wolf can also teach how to balance the responsibility of family needs and not to lose one's personal identity.

Wolf teaches us to develop strength and confidence in our decisions. He shows we will learn to trust our insights once we learn how to value our inner voice. This wisdom keeps us from inappropriate action. If wolf appears in your life examine where you need to develop more confidence and if you need more balance between friends, family, and yourself.

I hope this helps you.
