[Charlotte Groth]

I got the book; have read it. I was a little disappointed that it speaks mostly in generalities; not much real information, HOWEVER..

..and this might be worth something.

There's a portion in there that talks about how the tongue is actually connected directly to the brain. I've been trying fervently to lose weight lately without much luck at all. I don't remember the last time I had so much trouble with hunger..so..mostly because it seemed plausible--for the fun of it--I changed not so much what I eat, but the way I eat. Something my grandmother echoed decades ago--eat slowly; take small bites; chew each at least 20 times; put your fork down between bites. Wait ten seconds before taking another bite.

I had a friend years ago that always ate this way. She was ridiculously slender. Still is. She told me once--when she wants to lose a couple of pounds--she just slows down a little more.

I can't believe the difference. It isn't in the stomach after all--its in the tongue.

Whodda thought!
