Picola Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 You can get some leaves that you chew and make anything sweet taste horrid. For dieting, so reverse effect to these berries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 You can get some leaves that you chew and make anything sweet taste horrid.

Gibbeth! Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Incidentally, did you know that the shape of a Pringle is a hyperbolic parabaloid?and the same shape as the universe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picola Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 but why chew anything to make something taste horrid? just cant quite understand thatBecause people, like myself, have cravings for things they shouldnt. Like chocolate, so u eat the leaf then u get no enjoyment out of the chocolate. Thus, stopping you consuming the calories.The simple answer would be to not eat the chocolate in the first place. But when you have hormones to contend with, the brain takes a back seat Im afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you have hormones to contend with, the brain takes a back seat Im afraidthats a fair point but if the hormones are that bad ur nt gonna bother with the leafor if u have the will power to eat the leaf before the chocolate why bother eat the leaf just throw the chocolate away or just simply not buy it in the first place... as i was saying if ur gonna take something to have the idea of making it taste horrible then just dont bother at all..
