Little changes - Big help!

Make a few small changes and it might make a BIG difference:

Start cooking your pasta Al Dente (with a little bite to it). When you boil pasta for 5 minutes, its glycemic index is 38; after 20 minutes, it shoots up to 61. The higher the glycemic index, the SOONER you'll be hungry again!

Chew gum while cooking dinner. It burns 11 calories an hour and can prevent those B.L.T. (Bites, Licks and Tastes).

Eat s-l-o-w-l-y. In one study, women who took half an hour to eat a pasta lunch consumed almost 70 fewer calories than those who scarfed it down in 9 minutes.
