I was channel surfing one night and came across the TV show “The Biggest Loser”.  I have never seen it before and I have never been a fan but I was intrigued! How do people go on national television and tell the world exactly what they weigh, how much fat they have, and even stand in their skivvies in front of the world!? Anyways getting back to the point it was an episode where they were learning about snacks; what was healthy and what was not so healthy. So they were going over a bunch of stuff they could eat like fruits, veges, etc. Then one of the trainers proceeded to tell them to substitute a snack for a stick of gum. GENIUS! At first I thought the idea was completely ridiculous. I thought, “who on earth would enjoy a piece of gum as a snack!?” Then I kept thinking about it and realized it’s not really supposed to be a snack hearsay, but a substitute for a snack. Then I thought about how I pop a snack into my mouth without even thinking twice about it. Whether it is while I’m vegging out watching TV, sitting at my desk, doing it because I’m bored, etc. So why not trick my mind, mouth and tummy and throw a stick of gum there and save myself from a couple hundred calories? Thank you biggest loser!
