Beach Body Hack? Nutritionist Says Eat Like a Baby

If you’re trying to lose weight for beach season, you might want to go back to your roots:  A nutritionist named Nicolette Pace is going viral for this diet advice:  Try eating like a BABY.  (???)

She doesn’t mean eat baby food or drink formula.  It’s all about HOW babies eat, and how they DON’T eat.  Here are the three things you need to do . . .

1.  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.

2.  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.

3.  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?
