The ground hog day diet

An interesting, although not new, idea:

"If you eat a burger for lunch on Monday, a chicken sandwich on Tuesday, pizza on Wednesday, and so on, each meal retains a significant amount of novelty, triggering what we might call the “Long-Term Buffet Effect,” which makes you want to eat more at each meal and keeps you experiencing higher levels of hunger. But if you eat the very same burger every single day for a week, two weeks, months at a time, its novelty wears off, and your brain sends you greater satiety signals to stop eating. When you consume the same thing every day, it loses its excitement, and becomes significantly less tempting to overeat."

I wouldn't eat those items, but the message makes sense.

I know some of you may already know about this method described by Clarence Bass: Uniform eating method, not for boredom, but easier to manage/control calories/weight.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Worked/Works pretty well for him!!

I'm a fan of Clarence Bass's uniform eating method.

The more variety of foods I eat, the more often I find myself with stomach problems. Everyday the average American is doing a chemistry experiment in his gut.
