    Ok, so I have discovered how this challenge could help a person lose weight. Last night I went to the movies and had nachos (I know, shouldn't have, but couldn't resist) and this morning had corn flakes for breakfast. With both of these foods, by the time I got to the teens in chewing, there was absolutely no food left! I didn't even have to swallow :laugh: So, it kinda made me feel like I ate a lot less. LOL.

    well I'm not counting cuz I forgot but definately slowed down the chewing and making sure my food is well chewed up before I swallowed. Last night I got ohme famished! and heated up a lean cuisine meal - it was santa fe rice & beans there was nothing to cut (like if it were chicken/steak, etc) and I started inhaling my food. BUT I caught myself and slowed down and realized at the end that I was full. While I was inhaling at the beginning I was already thinking what else I would eat cuz I thought this would not full me.

    So great challenge!

    This is what happened to me too. Although with different foods I find that I can count either more or less chews. <-- hopefully that makes since. :laugh: Great challange, you definitely pay more attention when eating.

    Great Job bikini babes! If its too hard to count chews, try to chew until you basically have mush left. This helps with digestion and helps tell your brain that you are full sooner b/c you have to eat slower!

    Glad you guys are enjoying it...but its kinda hard w soup & applesauce...lol

    I have been slowing down my eating, and I think it has definitely helped! I can actually tell when I am full before I overeat.

    Interesting challenge hehe. Really makes me think while and what I'm eating. I always eat so quickly because I'm so busy.

    So my wonderful mac computer at home has decided after 7 years it no longer can make it and died on me last week. I have missed the weigh ins forever it seems. Also I have totally gotten preoccupied with other things that I haven't been tracking my food as often as I should and didn't weigh in this past weekend like I should have. I always weigh in on Saturday mornings at 7:45am when I go to the YMCA to workout (they have one of those nice doctor quality scales there) before my actual work shift. But this week I had Saturday morning off work and got to sleep in which was a first in a very long time! I have been sticking to my workouts though so hopefully this Saturday I hit my first main goal of being under 195 pds for my birthday!

    So this Saturday (my B-day) I will be weighing in and posting here again. Hopefully I hit my goal of being under 195 then I can really celebrate!
