By the way, have any of you ever heard the following?
WAIT to drink your beverage until after you have finished eating. I got this tip in the 80s from a prime-time tv actress, whose niece I was best friends with, for a decade. It seems that one's saliva contains a natural calorie-burning enzyme released as you chew, and that is ruined if you drink at the same time as you're eating .
The actress had an unbelievable body, so I just went along with it and don't even think about it much, and it seems to work.
I've forever tried to talk my overweight Dad into eating his meals in this way, he won't listen and thinks it's all bullsh*t about the saliva. Anyone ever hear this?
If curious, the actress was Lisa Hartman of 'Knots Landing' and she had the most amazingly perfect tummy and she showed it off a lot in those days.
