Try the Toothpaste Diet
You don’t have to suck down tubes of toothpaste, but that minty fresh taste can help you stick to your diet.
If portion control is your dieting downfall and you can’t resist your favorite goodies, brush your teeth with mint-flavored toothpaste.
It’ll tell your brain the meal’s over. If you’re tempted to take another bite, you’ll quickly find out that most food doesn't taste good with a mouth full of cool mint flavor.
Plus, the slick feeling of clean teeth is enough to keep most people from wanting to chow down more.
Your dentist will thank you, too, because brushing your teeth after meals is good dental hygiene.
If you don't have a toothbrush and toothpaste on hand every time you eat, or if you feel a snack attack coming on, chew sugarless mint gum instead.
