Skinny Tip #10

Freshen Your Breath!

Do you over-do it on the snacking? Perhaps you eat more than you should at any given meal? My Skinny Tip to prevent overeating is to freshen up your breath!

Why it Works

Have you ever tried eating a piece of food after you just brushed your teeth or taken a mint? If you haven’t, trust me – It’s usually not the most amazing flavor combination, which makes it less desirable to continue munching on whatever it is that you just starting to eat.

The Strategy

Once you are done eating, whether it be a main meal or a snack, it’s time to brush your teeth, take a mint, or chew on some mint gum! It’s pretty easy to do, and you’ll be amazed with the results!

When you freshen your breath after you eat, it signifies to your brain that you are done with your meal. This means no more munching on additional food once you have decided that you are finished with your meal.
