Mindless Eating

I just finished reading Brian Wansink's book, Mindless Eating.  He has a really great website with a ton of information, freebies and tools to use.  Check it out.  I know I will. 

I love finding out that things like the size of packages and plates--even the variety of available foods--influence almost everybody's eating consumption.  The book is full of strategies to lose weight without making gargantuan changes . . . personally, I'm going to get out my old-fashioned smaller dinner plates and do away with my habit of eating at my desk. 

I heartily recommend this book.  I wish I had read it two years ago.

Oh, and be sure to check out his blog--it's the "ExpertBlog Prevention.com" blog listed to the right.

I've wondered about that book, it's on my "to read" list. At the moment I've ditched my diet for the "kidney stone diet" I don't recommend it. I've been in agony for 3 days and my diet has consisted of percocet and whatever will make the percocet stay down.

Well, I have started my diet again. I haven't been following it and have been craving sweets! I think it is mostly emotional eating. So, after seeing the scale almost hit 175, I am back at it! And, I don't plan on quiting until I reach 150. Then, I will try to maintain! I have got to get this done!
