[quote=Anonymous]Back when I was 19yrs old and carrying an extra 30lbs more than I wanted (now 56), I was traveling through Italy and France and noticed a few things that I decided to implement once I got back to the states.  They were actually really easy to implement, but the changes were significant and long lasting.

1) Eat really slowly, slower than you would think. when I was in Italy I noticed how everyone would just linger at the table. it would take forever just to finish their "normal sized" bowl of pasta, or small steak and salad.  And often they wouldn't finish because they realized they were full. This brings me to #2.

2) STOP eating when you're no longer hungry, way before you get that full, stuffed feeling.

These two changes, which are now just part of me and how I eat, helped me shed 30+lbs although the weight loss was slow (and steady). It took a full year.  I have yet to gain any of it back. And I have been easily able to maintain my weight without dieting just by doing these two things. [/quote]
