Well your hack is a good one mate but... Well people nowadays eat fast because they dont have actually enough time, if the day had 26 hours i would be happy... In Greece average time we spend to eat per day is 1 hour and 12 minutes in US it is 46 minutes and in UK 51 minutes, chopsticks for me are going to double that time... I know i am taking the idea of eating in a slower manner to the extreme with what i am saying but really i dont know if i can spare that much time

Something that came to mind, vaguely related:

If you plan on running to lose weight: don't. Go swim laps in not-too-warm water daily for some time first. The body will burn calories just to keep its temperature up, you are exercising, and you build muscle mass in more places.

Larger muscles burn more with every movement than small muscles. Getting in shape swimming will make running easier. Losing weight *before* you start running will prevent your joints' exploding.

Whatever habits you form, if you change your habits back, you will grow fat again.

I lose weight because of steemit, tbh. 
I gave more time posting, reading and commenting on steemit than filling up my tummy. I have a high metabolism so the effect is doubled. I'm not depriving myself to eat, Steemit does! xD

I like the combination of going on a soup diet, and only using chopsticks to eat.  Taking Hack #3 to the extreme.

I have planning my self of lost some weight for a couple years but I never do it for real.
I don't know why, some of my friends and family already call me fat, yes of course I'm offended with it but I just have no motivation to lose some.
After reading this you gave me some motivation about it, thank you dude.

I enjoyed your frank article of food hacking. Please follow me as I also pen on such subjects.

Very interesting post.. Love these tips!

Really cool post. Thank you! I have been on a weight loss journey for waht feels lile my whole life. Started in the 305 range, am now down to 202. Check out my page if your interested in that story. Thanks again. Upvoted and followed.  Please feel free to follow back. Cheers

very smart :-)

Easier, first determine your body fat percentage and weight. Next determine your maintenance calories. Finally use my calculator to determine the maximum safe caloric deficit you can have based on your body fat percentage. Typically the higher your body fat percentage, the larger your caloric deficit can be. A morbidly person lived a full year without eating anything, but then if someone is relatively lean they might only have a few weeks before their body begins eating muscle. 

**Note, your maintenance calories requires a different calculator to determine:** https://tdeecalculator.net/
Your maintenance calories is based on knowing your total energy expenditure, which at best is just an estimate based on your resting metabolic rate and usual activity level. In a sense you can estimate your rmr via trial and error, or get a precise measurement, but your TDEE changes from day to day, so once you figure out you are staying at the same weight eating a specific amount of calories that is your current maintenance. In simple, eat less, move more, and take your vitamins, result is weight loss for 100% of people.

Just to be clear, my post was for people who already are very determined and who are disciplined. The mental factor is a different issue resolved by the original blogger so my response is just the "how to".

Very interesting and simple to understand. The problem of the metabolic syndrome is also given because it seems to be a matter of adaptation to the Paleolithic way of life of more than 10 thousand years ago where the energy was extracted mainly from proteins by gluconeogenesis. It is not applicable for all ethnic groups but for a large majority. I recommend looking for studies on this. In general, for this type of people carbohydrates are harmful, even saturated fat is better than carbohydrates. This would explain much of our failure to control the incidence and complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus in recent years despite the existence of more and better drugs to treat it.

You are totally right when you say diet is a lifestyle. I'll try to adopt that lifestyle!

Hi, we find eating more is a much healthier way to loose weight. Eating less will only burn muscle. Eating more and more frequently increases metabolism like crazy, this is how we prep our athletes for comp. eating whole foods is essential and over loading on leafy greens will out shine a glass of water any day and be much more nutritious, not to mention the fibre boost. Don't end up skinny fat eat more to loose more!

Where is the magic pill to change our synapses to better behave?  lol.  I kid.  Just an FYI...used your scaredy cat pic as the main photo for my last post!  Finally got  to it :-)

Have you ever considered fasting?

I think you well earned every penny from this post. I'm gonna try this hack out starting tomorrow. Lately I've been growing  laterally because I feel like I'm always hungry, and I can't seem to stop myself from grabbing that extra loaf of bread for the sixth time... I'm not obese yet, but at this rate I won't be fitting in my new jeans for very long.

Thanks for the tip, and know that I shared this post with my followers too. :)

See ya! :)

Seems to be a good idea, but people must be careful and also see a doctor first, your organism could be lacking of nutrients, if you eat badly, you can lose your immune system and get sick as well

Good feed!

Good :))

Its all about health. You want to live a good life and be able to handle certain situations that come up. It definatly has to be a lifestyle if you want to see any gains in one direction or the other. I was happy as heck when i finally reached the 300 club with benching as its been a long time goal and it was great to finally reach it. You cant make excusses and have to make it part of your daily routine and be disciplined daily no matter what pops up in life's  journey... Just posted a blog about relations with China if you or anyone are interested. Bell well and *steem on*.

you could take  Acetyl-L-Carnitine which comes from natural food and effective for  burning fats
