Now I know that I stuff myself any kind of unhealthy food, so I ate half hour earlier before my favorite program started.I ate my fruit serving and vegetable and whole grain.By the time my program started , I was full and did not want any thing to eat, not even icecream. It worked.During my t.v. time , I did not eat anything extra and I had lots of time to concentrate on other things. I really liked the idea.
