The professor of pigging out
Brian Wansink, of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, dishes about food self-delusion, holiday dieting, and how it might be the size of your plate -- not pie -- that's responsible for your paunch.

  • Eat less and walk

    I have lost 9 pounds in the past 2 months simply by walking 4 miles a day and eating less. My BMI is down to 24. My goal is to lose another 5 pounds for a weight of 155 (I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall). I spent a total of $12.00 on exercise equipment - a pedometer. I watch what what I eat carefully - no donuts, potato chips, soda. For dinner, I eat home-cooked Chinese food where each person starts with a small bowl of rice and adds to it vegetables, pork, chicken, fish, tofu, etc. You stop when you feel full. The walking is a great pleasure, not a burden. I really could not sit inside all day now if I tried. I dislike jogging because it is very jarring and no better than walking. That's it - walk and eat less. Good luck!
