Dr. De Can, made very good suggestions on what I can do to help me to control my hunger desires with less frequently and types of foods. For instance, replace food with no nutritional value. With foods that have nutritional value. Dr. De Can, has reasonable approach I think can help me, control my eating habits.. her example for me to already proportion the food, and put it away and then start to eat. So that might help me keep it smaller. Dr. DeCan has a good and easy quality that makes me feel comfortable speaking to her..
