It’s easier to eat nothing than to eat a little – and a trick that helps

It’s always easier to eat nothing than to eat a little. Always go as long as you can without eating, because as soon
as you start to eat, eating will make you hungrier. Very low calorie, sugar-free mints and candy help some
patients lose weight, by prolonging your “not eating”. Jols are Licorette are sugar-free candies that are packaged
in small boxes of 35 candies, and 7 pieces have 5 calories, for a total of 25 calories per box. Any brand of very
low calorie, sugar-free candy or mint can work. It’s worth a try to see if sucking on candy all day, helps keep
you from eating. Many patients go through 2 boxes (50 calories) a day, sucking almost constantly on sugar-free
candy, as soon as they start to get hungry. They eat a 500-1200 calorie meal at night, and they are good for the
day. It’s definately something worth exploring, if you have trouble sticking to a diet consistently enough to lose
weight.
