(Be sure to file in in your Holiday Tip File!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">***<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">People tell me that when the holidays come, they just can\u2019t say \u201cNo!\u201d to the Halloween Candy, the Thanksgiving pies, the Christmas cookies, Eggnog, Fruit Cake, et cetera.\u00a0 And I say to them, \u201cThat\u2019s okay.\u201d\u00a0 And It IS okay to \u201cindulge\u201d and enjoy your favorite foods; the cakes, pastries and potatoes; the cookies, candy and ice cream; the pasta, bread and butter \u2013 if you <strong><em>practice<\/em><\/strong> the <strong>3-Bite Rule<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s <strong>the SKINNY on the 3-Bite Diet!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your favorite holiday foods don\u2019t have to be off limit. No food will make you gain weight unless you eat too much of it. A simple way to enjoy your holiday treats is to eat them in smaller portions.<\/p>\n<p>When you take the first bite, generally you are fully present <em>(because you\u2019re so excited to bite into that food that you\u2019ve been salivating over)<\/em> \u2013 and when fully present, you are able to taste 100% of the food.\u00a0\u00a0 When you take a second bite, you are able to taste 50%; third bite is 25% and, yes, exactly &#8211; by the time you get to the 4th bite it is pretty much over.<\/p>\n<p>True enough?\u00a0 First bites are the best; 2<sup>nd<\/sup> bites are the second best and it\u2019s downhill from there.\u00a0 So \u2013 why not <strong>practice the 3-Bite Diet Rule<\/strong> and <strong>STOP @ 3<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>If you just can\u2019t say \u201cno,\u201d say \u201c3 small bites\u201d please.\u00a0 And then \u2026<br \/>\n&#8230; Put the fork down and push away from the table!<\/p>\n<p>Save the 3-Bite Rule in Your Holiday TIP Folder!
