I Can Make You Thin! (TLC)

I thought Golden Rules #3 and #4 were pretty neat, though.

#3 was Eat Consciously - put your fork and knife down, chew slowly, savor the taste. I've heard #4 (Stop when you're full) over and over again, but it's amazing how much we still eat if we see that we still have food on our plates. The blindfolded eaters test surprised me. I think I'll try that next time.

I'm one of those who often watches TV or reads a book while eating. I didn't know those things were distracting me while I ate more.

If it means not having to go to the gym and eating awful food, I'll try it!

you mean I have to do more than just tap my cheek? How bad is it that I just ate a bag of m&ms while reading this thread...

Seriously, I will have to check this one out. I love TLC

I don't know where you guys are getting the "cheek tapping" unless I missed that part...but anyways the rules kinda make sense...I've tried to do the conscious eating a couple times since then and I actually ate less...with no tv or anything distracting me and while chewing that slowly, you really can tell when you're full or the boredom drove me to finish up...either way I left food on the plate so good deal!!!!!

I bet if you had been tapping your cheek while reading this thread it would have been really hard to eat those M&Ms. hmmm, maybe there will be something to the cheek tapping after all....

The cheek tapping was shown in the ads for the show. I haven't seen it yet, I'm curious though.
