Heaven has some beautiful unheard of ways of getting thin. I am not thin yet, but if I can go by the fit of my clothes, I am losing weight, thanks to his terrific techniques.

As you know, Heaven Admin is an original thinker. 

He advises that one factor to gaining or losing weight is the shape and weight of the container you eat from. For instance, if you eat from a pot, what does that suggest? Heaviness and a pot!

So best to eat from a tiny bowl.

Even if we have two servings.

The idea of Heaven Admin’s that is especially phenomenal is this:

Don’t eat with silverware.

Heaven Admin recommends, most of all, eating with your fingers as it is done in primitive societies. Also good is eating with chopsticks. My first choice now is fingers.

How do you do this?

Take a chapati or a wrap, tear a piece off and use it as a little hand shovel.

Now, we all know that it is better to eat slowly. However, I have only seemed to know how to gulp my food down. We all know to chew carefully, but I never remember, and I never have the patience to chew fifty times either. Eating with my fingers ensures that I slow down. and, as I slow down, I find I relish each bite.

Last night Heaven Admin made curried garbonzo beans with some vegetables.  I find I am able to scrape up maybe two garbonzo beans and some of the sauce per little chapati hand-shovel,  and I savor each bite. I imagine that in between bites, my food has a chance to digest a little and that my stomach thanks me for it.

Whereas eating a meal would routinely take me ten minutes, let’s say, eating with my fingers makes the meal last forty-five minutes! And I love eating with my fingers!

There is something else involved here, and that is prana, the energy we get from our own fingers. Notice how at weddings, the bride and groom feed each other a piece of their wedding cake with their fingers. Prana!

I have long suspected that that this prana is the reason why fast foods and snack foods are such big sellers.  However, fast foods are mostly sandwiches and snacks are dry, making it possible to take big bites and handfuls. There is no slowing down in eating with fast foods that I can think of.

With this new experience of eating even juicy foods with my fingers, I find I am satisfied. So, if I have a big hand-fed lunch at 1 or 2 p.m., I don’t have to eat supper at all. Maybe a cup of hot milk with cinnamon, cardamon, and tumeric, and I am content.

In a later blog entry,  we will have photos to demonstrate.

Meanwhile, do you know any little known ways to stay or become slim?  Ways we don’t already know? Happy ways we can actually stick with?
