I suppose you can eat all the veggies and good stuff you like and swallow, then when you get a craving for junk food, chew and spit. WHen you put food in your mouth, the enzymes in your saliva begin to break down your food. This is called MECHANICAL DIGESTION. Calories are absorbed but I think it's very very minimal. You swallow it, and it travels down your esophagus and into the small intestine, where most digestion occurs. Then, it goes through the large intestine, THEN the stomach. So, in fact, by the time the food reaches your stomach reaches your stomach, it's just about done being broken down. Anyway, enough info.... Basically, you can do this, but make sure you are getting all of your nutrients. Another great tip is eat HALF of what you will usually eat. Usually have 3 slices of pizza? Have 1 1/2. Pizza is actually somewhat healthy for you. Maybe put a napkin of the top to get rid of the oils. Good luck. Email: black_eyed_peas15@yahoo.com AOL Instant Messenger: BlackEyedPeasU2

Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 04/28/05 - IP#: 207.231.98.xxx The calories begin to become absorbed the minute you put the food into your mouth. So it's pretty pointless to chew & spit, because by the time you spit, you've gotten most of the calories anyway.
