Can Brushing Our Teeth Can Help Us Lose Weight?



Recommended Posts

Here is a weight-loss tip I found on the internet. I have tried it for a few days and it has really helped discourage the "sweet" monkey on my back. If I eat, and then brush right away, the food flavors don't linger in my mouth, teasing me to go eat more. Plus, because of the minty flavor of the toothpaste, I am drinking more Water. Tea is one thing that taste real bad after brushing, so this trick eliminates the artificial sweeteners I was putting in the tea. Because I am no longer consuming thirty sweetener packets a day (my main vice - I was putting that stuff in everything), my body doesn't crave sweetness anymore. It has been a very helpful chain reaction. Here is the link:

If you can't stand your Protein Shakes anymore I can tell you how to get them in and improve the

taste. If you have a ninja or blender, fill it half full with chipped ice, pour in one vanilla

Protein Shake, or the powder(UNJURY)is the best, put one Greek vanilla yogurt (light N lively, 80 calories and 12 protein)in the blender as well and fruit that you like. I use 50/50 orange juice

which is much less sugar and an orange Greek yogurt. I swear it taste just like an orange cream ice cream. strawberry and Mango are really good as well. Use your imagination, Try it, you will love it.

I read years ago that Pamela Anderson brushes her teeth before she cooks, so she won't be tempted to pick at the food whilst she's cooking.

Hey, if it's good enough for Pammy...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
