Diet Supplement Blog

Perusing articles at WebMD on “Women’s Health” I ran

into an article by Paige Greenfield about losing weight

without laborious calorie counting and measuring food.

(Titled “Lose Weight Without the Math!”)

Greenfield struck a chord with me because all the time

and angst involved with keeping a calorie chart handy

and writing everything down takes me out of the mood to

diet real fast every time.

Greenfield offers a simple tip: scan the labels of

products you get out to eat to get a feel for how

balanced and nutritious your meal will be, and how many

calories it will have. Mix and match from your frig

and cupboard to make sure you are eating healthy and

balanced.

Instead of measuring each bite, Greenfield suggests,

“enjoying each bite.” Amen to that. When you slow down

to enjoy your food you give your stomach and brain time

to communicate when you are full.

The most successful diet I even went on wasn’t even a

diet. It was effortless and painless. I just cut my

portions in half and spent more time chewing and

enjoying what was on the plate. Over the course of a

year I’d lost 30 pounds without even trying.

That’s my kind of diet!
