re: #527 J.D.

I don’t write that blog, but I did find an interesting link about dieting and nutrition today I was hoping to share, so thanks for the opening:

The “Pistachio Principle” of Weight Loss

James Painter, PhD, RD, has come up with a new, non-dieting approach to weight loss that he calls the “Pistachio Principle.” He says his experiments have shown that people can consume fewer calories without consciously restricting themselves, and yet finish a meal feeling as satisfied and full as does the average American who consumes more calories.

Really fascinating read- this is the key:

The bottom line is that it takes your brain 20 minutes to get the signal that you’re full.

I hope any Lizards who are dieting or have friends or family dieting pass on this link.
