Show Slim for Life classes Is a lavish buffet exciting to you? Do you feel like eating a delicious dessert even right after a large meal? If so, you may be high in externality sensitive to the sight, smell, or suggestion of food as are millions of people. If you are also, overweight, it may be helpful for you to reduce your exposure to food. Slim for Life, the American Heart Association's weight loss program, offers many techniques to decrease food exposure and temptation. Classes start in 18 locations the week of June 13. "Follow the five minute rule," says Susan Ward, R.D., nutrition director for the Heart Association. "Waiting at least five minutes before be-fore going back for extra helpings will allow you to make a thoughtful decision about your level of hunger and how much food you really need," the dietitian stresses. "Avoid being the food dispenser in your home," cautions Ms. Ward. " have children pack their own luin es and your spouse fix his own snacks," she suggests. "Or do the food preparation for the whole day right after breakfast when hunger is lowest." Other Slim for Life techniques for reducing exposure to food include in-clude removing serving dishes from the table and leaving the table right after eating. Eating out, self-talk and exercise are other topics covered in this successful suc-cessful weight loss class. The cost for the course is $50, which will be reduced to $40 if you preregister.
