Make it a rule to never eat when you feel emotional. Wait 20 minutes or so until you feel calmer and and you will make healthier decisions about what to eat. Probably easier said than done!

An important concept to learn is “I can eat what I want or I can be thinner but I can’t have it both ways”. In her book Carol writes that ” the book covers the 28 day detox as well as how to maintain healthy eating once that is over. You’ll be conscious of exactly what kind of food you’re eating for probably the fist time in your life.”

Also take time to chew your food well and eat slowly. According to WebMD“It takes approximately 20 minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to send out signals of fullness. Leisurely eating allows ample time to trigger the signal from your brain that you are full. And feeling full translates into eating less.”

We can all probably identify with that. How many times have you intended to have just one cookie or one piece of chocolate and then ended up devouring the lot? I know I have.

It’s true that some of the toxic chemicals that you have in your body can affect the weight control mechanism and getting rid of them with can help your metabolism work better.Carol, in her book, says that detox is about being aware of the kind of foods we put in our bodies. It’s about eating more not less. She points out that while people were thinking she was starving herself to lose weight she was actually eating more food than she was when she was dieting. I’m on a detox for three months because I’ve eaten so much. I’m terrible, once I start eating certain kinds of food, I go on eating them, so I’ve got to re-train myself.” Each time you refrain from eating the foods you are not supposed to give yourself credit for it. This way you develop faith in your ability to resist temptation and make good decisions about what to eat. She points out that most thin people choose healthy food and eat smaller portions than they would really like. I don’t agree with that.
