Chewing 32 times!? man that is a lot! Maybe i'll do 20 times but definitely not 32 times, if i do that, it is gonna take forever to finish my food.....

yeah, even I don't chew that much although I'm considered a 'tortoise' when it comes to eating..

But i'm usually fuller if i eat faster, dunno why. must be something wrong with me.

you're just weird, ichi

 

[tune]

fuller when you eat fast...?

i'm thinking of this scenario: bread = sponge
eat bread -> water/digestive juices -> sponge expands

i'll only do that when i feel extremely starved~
that makes me feel bloated at the end most of the time

i still remembered my biochemistry lecturer told the class that chewing for 40 times is ideal...but with the short recess period & long queues, no chance~

If you need a chocolate fix, invest in protein shake powder instead of candy. A 5-lb thing will be anywhere from $30-$50 (more expensive = better taste) at GNC and will last over a month, even if you have a scoop every day.

Alternatively, you can buy some small choco-bite things and just keep them in your mouth until all your taste buds are saturated with chocolate, that way you'll only have one or two instead of a whole bag. NEVER EAT CANDY WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY! That's what real food is for.

Hmm.. I never thought I have a chocolate fix, but I do drink milo like almost everyday, and since it's from cocoa powder, maybe I do like chocolate more than I thought And I have 2 scoops per drink

I love Milo. And Milo candy bars are my favorite candy bar.

I think there is. It's not easy to find. I got it from my friend who works for Nestle.

Me want some!!!

Back to the topic, hisshou gave me an idea. We can share healthy eating tips just like wad he did.

1.

if you like chocolate, go for the bitter ones. they are lower in sugar content

2.

you must eat your food slowly and chew each morsel 32 times

3.

If you need a chocolate fix, invest in protein shake powder instead of candy.

4. Start dinner with a big plate of salad with low calorie dressing. The fiber in the vegetables will help you feel full and you may end up eating less of the higher-calorie food

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

For an even healthier salad, use only olive oil for the dressing. CMIIW, the olive oil helps the body to digest and absorbs the fibre from the vegetables.

Fat free pudding + skim milk is a great way to get some chocolatey goodness for very low calories.

As usual, the best way to satisfy a chocolate craving is to get some in your mouth and let it saturate your taste buds. A single spoolful of pudding or 1 hershey kiss can be just as satisfying as a 1lb bag of M&Ms

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

I tried that Hershey diet, Hisshou. I ended up finishing half a bag of Hershey Kiss.

now why am i not suprise

did you know that chocolate has a significant amount of lead? even I didn't know that until i wikied chocolate

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

And that is good, right? Or not?

But research also said that chocolate can help to relieve your stress.
