I’m convinced that one of the reasons the English-speaking West is turning into such a sea of lard is that we’ve successfully sold ourselves the idea we’re eating far less than we actually do.

I found that I get hungrier than I need to be and now there's a limiter on it. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

I've recently tried roasted soybeans and roasted edamame (about 2 ounces total as a snack in the afternoon) make a satisfying, crunchy, salty snack. The protein kills the "MUST EAT MORE" cravings that chips and bread and similar things give me. I've got to get my diet under control before I retire, probably less than 5 years from now. I eat less at work than I do at home... :-/ Good luck with the fight, everyone! Cheers, Scott.

Which is a total pain, because I love food and cooking and cooking food, then eating it all. It’s the daft little tricks that seem to help - drink a pint of water before a meal, etc.
