Restaurant tips, calorie exchange and taste bud fulfillment

Our fast food, food everywhere consumer society wants us to pig-out as much as possible.

We are constantly bombarded with TV, radio, billboard, newspaper, and magazine advertisements depicting slim happy people eating mostly bad food or drinking sodas and beer. You can't drive down a major street in any city without seeing dozens of fast food restaurants. Many popular restaurants serve gigantic portions of food. Food everywhere has been super-sized.

The first step to eat less is to say No to the industrial food complex that is trying to fatten you up for the kill. Just say No to MacDonald's and every other fast food restaurant.  Say No to canned food and pre-packaged meals, No to soda pop and “sports” drinks, No to trans-fat and No to high fructose corn syrup and you'll consume fewer calories and extend your life.

Skip the desert or if you must, share it. If you aren't too embarrassed, ask for a “doggy bag” before you start eating, and put a portion of your meal into the bag ahead of time. Don't eat the roll or bread and butter before the meal begins. If the waiter asks you if you want bread, stand up, throw your arms in the air, and yell, “Hell, no!” (Just kidding).

5. Have a light soup before your main meal. Better yet, have soup as the main meal.
Soup makes you feel full on fewer calories.

6. Drink a large glass of water before you eat.
You'll be less hungry.
