I would eat those first (and by the time I was done, I was *close* to getting full). Then I would eat the unhealthy thing. In this case, the unhealthy thing wasn't really all THAT unhealthy...usually a turkey sandwich or peanut butter and jelly or something like that.
Basically, it was a way to exercise portion control on the foods that were bad for me while still leaving a meal feeling really fulfilled. The last thing I would taste would be the unhealthy thing, but I'd still be full and satisfied. |
I know of a popular strength guru that gives similar advice but his is to have a protein shake before the meal. I've had many protein shakes in my lifetime and they definitely make you think twice as they can be pretty filling.
