Good Morning! I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy the great weather we had this weekend!

Me, 10lbs down from the picture at the right!


Anyway, lets get into another tip Dave Grotto RD, LDN, turned me onto. What happens if you've just eaten or you have an hour or so until lunch but want to keep your calories down? Chew some gum! Thats right, chewing gum has been shown in studies to actually satiate the appetite http://www.eatright.org/ada/files/FINAL_Wrigley_FINAL.pdf"> and has also been shown to improve short- and long-term memory by as much as 35 percent http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_13_18/ai_84804845/.

So next time you need to tame that appetite for awhile or need to concentrate, grab a piece of gum and let the magic work!
