Adding to Number 4 - I've always used the trick to put my fork and knife (or spoon, depending on the situation) down between bites. This helps you gauge exactly how fast you're eating. Putting the utensils down between bites forces you to eat slower. gWallet´s last blog post..Hellgate: London – alive for now, free-to-play Mythos – still up in the air

@Shamelle: Am glad the title attracted you. Had to work a lot for this one. Rest of alternatives were becoming long lines.

@Neeta: I feel for you. Wheat, diary and sugar is kind staple diet in India. Must be really difficult for you. Although I think you might have already tried this, tell them doctor said no.

@Barbara: hahaha yes, I remember those times when everyone wanted to feed me bcoz I was on a diet. Dunno why it is this way. If someone tells me that they are on diet, I will not allow them to have wrong foods even if they want to.

Hi Avani - I agree, quitting the clean plate club is a great idea, as is using smaller plates and portions. For some reason it seems like when we announce we're on a diet, others want us to eat MORE. What's that all about? Barbara Swafford´s last blog post..Who Taught You - Open Mic

Hi Avani,

Discovered your blog through the comments you posted on Thinkmaya.
Your post really resonates for me, because I’ve spent three months this year in India and had a very hard time with my food. It was easy to say No, but very hard for that No to be accepted. I don’t eat wheat, diary or sugar and family and friends usually got offended until I went into long explanations about my health reasons.
Thanks for the tips, for the next time around – they are definitely going to make a difference

Happy Diwali to you…..

Neeta

@Maya: Happy Diwali to you too. Yes, I got on alltop I am waiting for this weekend to put on the alltop badge. I avoid playing with the code on weekdays to be on safe side.

I think that the most important thing in terms of dieting at all times is to consider how certain foods can heal the chakras. Also I think that vegetarianism is best for overal health and keeping good body weight.
