Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

I frequently write about my recommendation for eating 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. If you have a little, you’re less hungry, and that can save money and calories.  In other words, instead of the classic 3 (big) meals a day try six little moments of eating spaced throughout the day. In each little…

Yes, it’s great to want to be as pure and healthy as possible by buying and eating organic foods.  But if you’re trying to lose weight and save money and like me, I can’t really afford to go organic. My wife buys organic milk, for example.  A half-gallon costs $5.15!  Yikes!  A half-gallon of regular,…

Do you really save money buying food and supplies in large quantities?  The answer is yes.  There is a difference in places to buy food in bulk, though, so do your homework.  Basically, when it comes to savings there are supermarkets that have great sales when you can stock-up, there are co-ops, and then warehouses…

Many of my clients have told me that they go to fast food restaurants fairly often.  One person I am working with says she goes everyday after work and has a couple of burgers (make that 4).  She also told me she went through their drive-in for breakfast and had a sausage muffin with egg…

Melinda wrote awhile back, “I keep a daily log of my food intake & activities. I love doing this because I get to see EXACTLY what I am eating. It also forces me to THINK – BEFORE I eat (which is a new concept for me!). I plan my meals, then after I eat, I…

Take the time to get together with people who are spiritual. It’s called “fellowship” and it’s really valuable and wonderful. There’s nothing like a spiritual community where you can feel instantly understood and appreciated for what you believe in and experience. You’ll hear other people’s experiences, too, which often helps you to deepen your own.…

Hey, there’s a lot of buzz about eating out at restaurants, fat loss and weight loss.  I think that’s pretty ridiculous.  It’s really hard to lose weight eating a lot of sugar and fat at fast food restaurants!  Food lovers, fat loss isn’t found at fast food restaurants, fat is found there! God knows! Fast…

You can probably imagine, I get a lot of questions.  I love it that people ask, although I cannot answer every one of them.  This one gets to the point, and a lot of people ask it on a regular basis.  I’m sick of struggling to lose weight – and then gaining it right back…

My friend’s dad, Bernie, taught me his trick for having dessert (but not really). He has one little tiny piece of high quality chocolate every day, in the evening. Just a sliver. He lets it melt slowly on his tongue, instead of chewing it. Bernie says he’s satisfied with just a small taste, eaten ever…
