Dr. Anchors's Ten Orders
- Eat less food. Especially in restaurants, don’t eat everything on your plate.
- At home use small, dark plates.
- Eat much less sugar, sweeteners, sodas and baked white flour. Moderate amounts of non-sweet carbs are okay.
- Don’t combine big portions of meat or cheese with big portions of starch. Don’t balance meals. The five food groups are nonsense.
- Drink lots of water especially before meals.
- Weigh yourself twice a week.
- Eat less at night. You need only one main meal each day, not three. Ideally that main meal should be lunch as in France. People are not smart at night and make more mistakes.
- Eat more slowly so as not to raise the insulin so much. Fast food is fattening only because it is eaten fast.
- Stop snacking.
- Eat with friends or family. Pass a serving dish. Don’t fill the plates in the kitchen.
