Two Questions That Lead to Weight Loss

Forget measuring out portions, nixing foods and following strict calorie regimes. Author Caryl Ehrlich, who developed The Caryl Ehrlich Program and penned Conquer Your Food Addiction, advocates a technique that takes a different approach. Her one-on-one program teaches participants 10 behavioral steps to change habits, lose weight and keep it off forever. Ehrlich isn't just the founder, she's also a member. She lost 50 pounds using her own method, and has kept the weight off for more than 25 years. Two simple steps you can try today? First, when you go to grab that snack, ask yourself two questions:

  • Am I hungry?

  • Can I make eating this meal last 20 minutes or more?
If the answers are no, take a few seconds, and then walk away. This behavioral approach will lead to healthy, long-lasting habits.

Don't often force myself to make a meal last 20 mins - by then the food's stone cold, but I do drink something when I feel peckish during the course of the day...

I'm usually hungry when I eat, it's a goal not to eat when not!


I don't really try to stretch meal time but I do try to enjoy.

When I first put mine up I used the HTML tags,
then I just go to tickerfactory.com and update it.
It doesn't show any change the first post or two,
But future posts have the change.
Any posts I did before the change have the old data.
Those don't ever change.

I don't often make the meal last 20 min,
But I do consider prep time too.
When I'm just looking to munch,
I decide if I want actually prepare something,
Or if I'm just looking to stuff something in my face.
If it's just stuffing, I try water or coffee instead.

I try to stretch dinner out to 20 minutes, at least when my DH is home, that way we can spend time together with the kiddos.
