It’s scientifically documented, but surprisingly seldom discussed, the positive benefits of Saliva in the constant battle to lose weight.
At the Elite Clinic near Marbella in Spain, www.gmband.com a popular weight loss haunt of many celebrities, one of the many weight loss techniques they introduce to their clients involves the use of saliva to lose weight.
Everyone has read or been told countless times, “eat slowly, chew your food well; it takes twenty minutes for your brain to get the feeling full message to your stomach” But there is another powerful benefit in keeping the food in your mouth, which is even more important to those wishing to find the ‘secret’ to permanent weight loss.
A vital part of the digestion process of food starts in the mouth, Saliva contains the enzyme Amylase, which can break down starch, additionally salivary lipase in the mouth commences the breakdown of fats, but of course, only if you don’t swallow the food too quickly!
So, are all slim people slow eaters? Martin Shirran of the Elite Clinic, also the original trial Guinea pig of their popular Gastric Mind Band treatment, thinks most are. Slowing down his own eating was a major component of his amazing 65lb weight loss.
“We dedicate an enormous amount of treatment time to the careful completion our GMB Forensic Weight Loss questionnaire with each new client. Over eighty per cent confirm that they are fast eaters”
So what can you do to slow down, Alan Sugar’s book advocates eating with a ‘Little Fork’, others suggest placing your knife and fork in the opposite hands. Some of the tricks taught at the Elite Clinic involve playing a secret game at meal times, ensuring you win by always being the last to finish.
The clinic’s solution to achieving permanent weight loss with their clients involves the use of their own unique type of CBT – Pause Button Therapy; it instigates permanently changing the person’s thinking into that of a slim person, because slim people really do think differently around food!”
So, spit less, it is best in your mouth and far less offensive to others anyway.
