Eat Slower, and Take Smaller Bites - Especially When Eating High Calorie Foods

Y ou know what tastes exactly as good as a handful of M&Ms? One M&M. You know what tastes just as good as a Snickers bar? A miniature Snickers bar. You know what’s even better than snarfing down an ice cream cone? Slowly licking an ice cream cone, and taking the time to enjoy it.

In an earlier chapter, I talked about finding lower calorie substitutes that were almost as tasty as high calorie foods. Taking smaller bites is a way to essentially substitute the same food for itself, but make it lower in calories. You can eat a smaller amount while tricking your taste buds into thinking you’re eating the same thing.

If you eat one M&M at a time, or a smaller lick of an ice cream cone, or half a potato chip per bite instead of a whole one, you satisfy your cravings, fulfil your habitual need, and get to enjoy the taste, all while consuming fewer calories.

You can also try to slow down your eating. Instead of swallowing and taking another bite, chew for a little longer, and savor the taste. If you keep the candy in your mouth for twice as long, you can get the same enjoyment from half as much candy.

If you’re just looking for something sweet, I’d suggest hard candy, since you can hold them in your mouth and continually enjoy them for a long time. One 10 calorie hard candy can last as long as two or three entire bowls of ice cream.
