greybeta | Something that I didn't know about dieting

I heard something interesting about dieting yesterday, and it was the key to John Madden losing seventy pounds. When the Monday Night Football announcer ate a meal, he would wait twenty minutes before he started eating again. If he was truly hungry, he would start eating again in twenty minutes. If he was full, the mental processes of digesting the food would come through and he wouldn't feel like eating again.

I only mention this because my scheming roommate is going to try the Atkins diet. Sigh, I've already been warned to expect tons of microwaveable bacon to be on the way.
