Mango as a diet food?

I am first to admit I have no control over food. It's my weakness. I can hardly refuse food when it's in front of me. So it's no surprise that I am a size 8. Sometimes even size 10. Yikes! Yeah, I've contemplated about lipo 6 for her but I am scared of needles and knives so, no thank you.

Anyway, last week, just before dinner I ate one small green mango. I dipped it in salt with chili. Yum!

What's so interesting about this incident is that come dinner time, I had zero craving for food. To think we were having one of my favorite dish, sinigang na hipon - prawn in sour soup. I only ate one piece of prawn and had a small sip of the soup. And that's it!

I was really surprised. Hubby said that anything sour before meal makes you full. Aha! I know what to do now.

I bought another kilo of green mango and ate it just before meal time. It seems to be working. I could only eat like a bird.

The downside is that my teeth are now sensitive. I couldn't eat more green mangoes. Hahahaha!!!

    Yaikss, bigla akong naglaway sa mangga dahil sa post mo na ito. Buti na lang may mangga ako - a friend dropped them over galing sa kanilang orchard sa Kien Svay. Gusto mo?

    Hahaha, angsarap ng may friends na nagbibigay ng free mangoes no? *smile* R likes the green mango shake that I make for him. Mas masarap daw kesa yung regular ripe mangoes ang gamit. Have you tried it?
