Want to lose weight? Eat like a baby!

Swimsuit season is fast approaching…are you trying to slim down?

Have you tried eating like a baby?

A nutritionist named Nicolette Pace is going viral for this advice, according to the NY Post.

She doesn’t mean eat baby food or drink formula but to eat like they eat…and don’t.

She recommends to eat every two to four hours.  They obviously have to be smaller meals and you can’t just eat whatever you want.  Normal healthy-eating rules still apply.  Go heavy on fruits, veggies, and whole grains.  And in general, avoid meat.

Also take your time.  Eating slowly gives your brain time to register the fact that you’re feeling full so go slow and chew every bite.  Babies usually feed for 15 to 30 minutes.

And avoid mindless munching.  Babies don’t do it because they can’t.  For adults, it takes will power.  But just pay closer attention to WHY you’re eating.  Are you actually hungry or just bored (that’s us!)?
