The Three Bite Rule
I want to share with all of you a technique that is working very well for my clients right now. All of my clients seeking ultimate health and weight loss follow the Forever Young Diet and Lifestyle. Our plan has two essentials that must be followed:
- Protein – Eat your protein morning, noon and evening.
- Color- Eat your color (fruits and veggies) morning, noon, and evening.
Now, for the three bite rule. There will be times in your new lifestyle that you fall off the wagon. You’ll see something and you’ll want it and you absolutely can not talk yourself out of it (try this first). If you absolutely can not talk yourself out of it, then you must OWN IT. Consciously tell yourself: “I want that and I’m going to have it.” Own it! Then, have only three bites of the cheesecake, cookie, chips, whatever it may be. After three bites, have another conversation with yourself: “I’ve tasted this, had enough and it is done and over with now.” You are allowed the three-bite rule only once per day. The idea is that if you really have to have it, take three bites and then push it away.
I have one client who has lost 45 pounds with this rule. With the three-bite rule, you don’t have to feel like you’ve failed. You haven’t fallen off your wagon. Have only three bites and you’ll still feel successful in your plan and won’t lose any momentum.
