Ditch the Diet and Use the Power of Three

Continuing on the theme that small is beautiful when it comes to making changes, I recommend you invest three minutes and 13 seconds and watch a video by Ruth Buczynski, PhD, president and co-founder of the National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine, or NICABM for short.

The video is entitled, Mindless Eating, but you'll find that it's more than a pitch to pay attention as you eat. Dr. Bucynski shares fascinating facts she learned from Brian Wansink, PhD, author of Mindless Eating, such as:

• On any given day we make over 200 decisions about food.
• There is what Wansink calls the "Mindless Margin", a gap of 300 - 400 calories we can eat or not eat without any noticeable feeling of being deprived.
• Mindless behaviors are habits usually born years ago.
• Just three mindful changes in eating habits can mean 300 fewer calories consumed each day. The weight loss over time can be significant.

10-Day Challenge

I encourage you visit Dr. Buczynski's blog post and watch her video. Look at the list of possible changes, pick just three, write them down and give them a test drive. Look at the list of three once or twice a day as reminders.

When you give them a try for 10-days and notice the results, you can choose to continue doing those three or try some others. Let your feedback guide you.
