So, what do I mean when I say I ate at 10-5-10?
Once you reach between 3 and 3:2 hunger level you commence eating. You eat for 10 minutes chewing very slowly and chewing all over your mouth. Most people shove the food in the back to one side of their mouth, chew twice and then swallow. Not here, you chew all around your mouth including getting the food under your tongue so that the food touches all of your taste buds. Amazing how differently food tastes! Savor the food like a wine taster does wine. Now you eat this way for 10 minutes starting with your favorite food on your plate first.
After the ten minutes are up, you put down your fork and rest for 5 minutes (I usually get up and go pee to burn the 5 minutes).
Commence eating again for AT LEAST another 10 minutes, again eating slowly and chewing until the food is pulp in your mouth.
The reason you are doing this is because it takes your brain 20 minutes to get the signal the you are full. You will tend to over eat if you do not allow your brain to get that message and let you know you have had enough.
Remember, your stomach is only about the size of a loose fist. It holds about 1.5 cups of very well chewed food....that's it!
Now, what is that H2OJ???
H2OJ is just water and orange juice, no magic to it. In a 32 oz bottle put 1/2 c OJ (not from concentrate) and the rest water. You must have at least 2 ten oz glasses a day or as much of it as you want. I am having it for the majority of my water. I drink 4 bottles of it a day and then another bottle of plain water. This does wonders to burn the fat throughout the day. Nice thing is it adds some flavor to otherwise boring water. It also helps to keep the glycemic level on an even keel through out the day.
Now remember folks, I am not counting any calories, macros/micros or doing any fuzzy math here. You will see from my journals I am eating just like I did before because this is how I like to eat and I eat the foods I love.
I think there is definately something to the science behind this, but then again it is only day 3.
Gotta scoot, got work to do over on my NS website. TTFN!
