Let's kick off the third week with a mind/belly exercise, especially for those of you struggling to lose weight. Think about it - when is the last time you were actually hungry?
Today, each time you are about to eat something, pause for 30 seconds. Count 'em down and reflect. Are you really hungry? Will this satisfy you, or are you settling for second best? Are you just bored, thirsty, tired, nervous, or drinking? “Mood eating” accounts for 75 percent of overeating and diet failure, according to one study, and thirst often gets mistaken for hunger.
Better still, at dinner tonight, stop eating for 20 minutes before you finish your plate and make sure you're still hungry enough to keep going.

Or are your cravings just commercial manipulation of your neurons? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/23/health/23well.html?_r=1&ref=health
Aujourd’hui, avant d’avaler n’import quoi, soit au déjeuner, au dîner, au goûter, imposez un délai de 30 secondes de réflexion. Quels aliments au juste pourraient satisfaire votre appétit ? Etes-vous prête à choisir le « second-best » ? Est-ce que votre faim dérive de l’ennui, du stress, de la nervosité ? "Mood eating" représente 75% de la suralimentation et l'échec des régimes, selon une étude. De plus, la soif peut se masquer comme la faim, alors buvez de l’eau avant de manger.
Mieux encore, au dîner ce soir, avant que vous videz votre assiette, arrêtez de manger pendant 20 minutes et assurez-vous que vous avez assez faim pour continuer.
