Swallow Vs Spit

[bednobs]

if you just chew food, but dont actually swallow it, do you still get any/some/what percentage of the calories? I am on a diet, and really fancy a pork pie, but just the taste. If i didnt swallow it do you reckon i could get away with it? (lost a stone so far)

[Atheist]

I suspect you would get hardly any calories, but you would still be feeding your addiction to 'yummy' flavours. I would avoid such a step, and carry on with your diet so far, as it seems to be working. A diet needs to be a lifelong change in your eating habits, and sucking the juice from food is not really a realistic substitute, as you would not be changing your desires. I'm no expert, so don't take me too seriously.

Too much temptation..:-))
P.S. You'll swallow

You are approaching anorexia behaviour - please be careful.

In my nanny voice...what a waste of food!
Just have a small portion...a few bites.

Naughty girl Patsy... ;-) Tempted by a pork pie.

Haha, well she did ask..

Swallow, it’s more satisfying.

Losing lot's of weight is very easy if you are prepared to do low-intensity exercise (e.g. walking/cycling) 5 days a week and understanding calorie-intake timing and post-training protein intake, then you can eat whatever you want.

Something like what bulimia sufferers do?

[bednobs]

i remember some years ago tomorrow's world had a segment where someone was developing taste sprays (pizza flavour, chocolate flavour) that you could just spray in your mouth, no calories and sated you. I want that!

Off topic, sorry, I love a pork pie, with Coleman’s, but my one criticism is I can no longer find one with a load of the jelly, which I love.

My local butcher used to do a great one, but stopped as, apparently, most people didn’t like the jelly.

[LadyCG]

Jelly is disgusting.

Pork pie should be eaten with English mustard and / or Branston pickle and should always be swallowed, preferably with a full-bodied red to wash it down.

[Arksided]

I want to counter that as in there's too much jelly in pork pies these days and not enough of the pork, fat and grizzle that makes a true pork pie.

[bednobs]

not mustard - yuck, but salad cream!

[wolf63]

Eat it but don't look at the nutritional information on the packaging.

[Arksided]

A pork pie should be appreciated by having it with Mushy peas, maybe a bit of brown... but English mustard is a def no for me.

[Patsy33]

Yeah but the calories!..
I've changed my mind.
Spit!

[Arksided]

I think the thought of English mustard is the only post to help Bednobs on her diet.

[Arksided]

...and cool

Dave and I love pork pies...with some jelly. We can't find any near us in Ireland so folk flying over would bring us one or three.
Now they can't. Bloody Brexit. :-(
