Chew, Chew, Chewing Gum

Chew a piece of sugarless gum right after a meal....particularly if you WANT more food. 10 minutes later, your mouth thinks it ate the food, your stomach caught up with the food you DID eat so you are full, and your teeth get a brisk cleaning.

MORE INFORMATION:
anytime you feel like snacking....gum will help fake yourself into thinking you DID eat.
