FLECTCHERISM
For those people who are genuinely interested in reducing weight, must understand what Fletcherism means. Horace Fletcher of the U.S.A. lived in the 19 th century. He was miserable because he was abnormally overweight and was often down with some illness or the other. He suffered from chronic indigestion. He tried for all sorts of treatment to reduce weight, but did not succeed. After several days of deep study, he came to the conclusion that retaining the food in the mouth and chewing the food at least 30 minutes had a positive effect in reducing weight. He method of reducing weight was named Fletcherism.
Horace Fletcher gave out some rules for reducing weight.
The first and foremost rule is mastication. Every bite should be chewed thirty times right and partly on the left side of the mouth. The food should not be swallowed until chewed to a pulp.
The second rule is not to eat when upset, angry or worried or with mind full of tension and unpleasant thoughts. Because the digestive enzymes and juices are not released while disturbed. A pleasant and cheerful attitude while eating enables better digestion.
The last and very important rule is not to eat when not hungry. We must wait until we feel hunger ness.
So by following Fletcherism, we can prolong the pleasure of taste by eating slowly and moreover we feel contentment. Fletcherism is no doubt a pleasurable method to lose weight, doing nothing except the three cardinal rules laid by Horace Fletcher. A weight-reducing program built on Fletcherism works wonders and in all ways helps to control blood sugar levels in diabetics. Many people, who were not succeeded in reducing weight through other ways, got positive results by following Fletcherism.
