this before each meal. Repeat it silently as you s-l-o-w-l-y chew the

enzyme foods. Repeat it aloud when you face a high calorie dessert.
Make yourself ruler of your appetite. Your enzymes will work more
harmoniously with your thoughts.
Now, try some of these enzyme-pleasing behavior modifica-
tion programs:
1. Eat on smaller plates. Half portions will look full if
served on a salad plate. Visually, you think it’s a lot. This creates
happier enzymes and better appetite control. NOTE: Want a choco-
late cake? Try a small piece on a very small plate. It will be as
satisfying as a larger portion, and less fattening. Less for enzymes
to catalyze, too.
2. Going shopping? Have a prepared list. Don’t cheat!
When you stick to your list, you can avoid buying too much. Not
having it around the house means less temptation.
3. Reach for your pillow instead of some food. When the
urge to eat strikes you, strike back! Punch a pillow. Hard! Let all
your frustrations evaporate with this punching bag technique. Yell
out! (Don’t let family or neighbors hear you.) Release stored up
tensions. In a few minutes, you’ll feel relieved. Your enzymes are
now calmer. You’ll be able to avoid overeating and have stronger
enzymes, too. (Anger can drain them!)
4. Eat at regular mealtimes. Always do it sitting down at
a table, with your place set, even if you’re alone.
5. Eat slowly. Pause between mouthfuls. It takes your
stomach 20 minutes to signal your brain that you’re no longer hun-
gry. Give it a chance. 6. Want to treat yourself well? Instead of food, reward
a smaller sized garment that will fit when you reach your desired
yourself with a new hairdo, new compact, new book, fresh flowers,
