Keeping
Mouth Occupied & Happy for Weight Loss
How
to Lose Weight While Dieting
While we
are busy gaining weight, we keep our mouths pretty busy.
Then when Diet Time rolls around, our mouths literally
go into shock.
They miss
all that action - all that grinding, chewing and tongue-lashing.
There are
a few things that a dieter can do to keep the mouth
occupied and happy because if the mouth is not happy,
it may eventually wear the dieter down until they surrender
and began putting it into full-time action again. Here
are a few of our best tips that we hope will help you
keep your mouth happy, happy, happy!
Diet Tips
to Quell Chewing, Tasting & Grinding Desires
Whenever you're in a sticky Diet Situation and your
mouth needs to be satisfied, grab the gum. Sugarless
or the real thing? They contain about the same
number of calories - about five calories per stick,
and we suggest reaching for the gum that assists in
brightening your smile.
Bubble gum
is also tops for keeping the mouth happy.
Tic Tac's. These little blasts of flavor go a long way
for a teensy less-than-two calories each. Allow
them to dissolve in your mouth for a long-lasting flavor
sensation.
Search for boxes of low calorie ice-pops at the market.
Yes, in the freezer section. Some contain
as little as 15 calories each.
Be a Diet Sucker! Suckers last a very long while
and help satisfy the tastebuds while keeping the mouth
busy.
Brushing those toofies just might help smother the urge
to chew.
Seeds inside the hull will also occupy the mouth for
long intervals for minimal calories. Sunflower
seeds and pumpkin seeds are among our favs.
Crushed ice not only keeps the mouth busy, it's very
refreshing on those warm summer days.
Add a straw to a diet drink OR a glass of water.
Frozen grapes contain minimal calories and last a long
while. Simply place fresh grapes onto waxed paper and
pop into the freezer until frozen.
