Another vote for delayed gratification
Delayed Gratification is a magazine dedicated to slow journalism - that is, analysis of news events that is delayed until after the dust has settled. The hope: Waiting will shed some of the unnecessary baggage that can accompany a breaking story, and cast a clearer light on the real news.
Turns out that delayed gratification can help shed more than misconceptions and reshape more than perceptions - it can help you shed pounds and reshape your body!
Research published in Preventive Medicine took a long, slow look at what influences your away-from-home eating. Researchers discovered that when you're hungry, picking up a quick bite at a drive-thru (even though you know it's bad for you) is hard to resist, if you're the sort who favors immediate rewards. And that's even though waiting provides much greater rewards: a slimmer you and a younger RealAge!
So the next time you're hungry, dodge the fast-food solution with these tricks:
-Tamp down crazy hunger by getting vitamins and minerals your body craves: Take 1/2 a multivitamin morning and night (avoid mega-doses of nutrients).
-Keep a bag of walnuts in your car, pocket or desk. Eating 12 halves provides enough healthy fat and calories to quell your hunger until you can prepare a healthy meal or find a restaurant that offers healthy choices.
-Drink plenty of water. Being thirsty can make you think you're hungry, which can drive you to the drive-thru. Plus, research shows that drinking 12 ounces of water before you eat means you'll take in 75 to 90 fewer calories.
