The Stop Solution – Stop Yo-Yo Dieting, Snacking And Big Portions – Hypnosis
Who doesn’t like to have a snack or two between meals?
Web Watch has been known to grab a 3pm bowl of popcorn while at the office. Snickers and 5-Hour Energy have entire advertising campaigns around mid-day snacking.

So, how much money do you spend on food each year?
Go ahead – take a guess.
Chances are, you’re going to guess way lower than you expected.
How to Make Money and Bigger Tips as a Waitress
How much do you tip your wait staff when you visit a bar or restaurant?
Some people go for the standard 20% off the final total of the bill — just take the total, move the decimal point, and multiply by 2… voila! No math required and you left a 20% tip.
Some people jump through complicated hoops to come up with a 15% or 18% tip.
We’ll be honest here – there have been times that Web Watch has left less than 15%… but trust us, the wait staff didn’t do their job that day by listening to what the customer wanted (they didn’t bring us the requested drink, the requested condiment on the side rather than on the sandwich, etc – and it wasn’t because the restaurant was busy that day… it was just bad service all the way around.)

If you are one of the millions of people who suffer from gluten allergy (also known as celiac disease), or just want to limit the amount of gluten that you ingest on a daily basis to something a bit more tolerable for your body, then you may want to read a recent study that came out that did some analysis on one item that almost requires gluten to exist in the first place:
Beer.
Yes, there are many gluten-free beers on the market today, but how many of them are labeled correctly with the term “gluten-free” if they actually contain gluten?

Every year at Christmas time, it’s the same old thing being yelled out in kitchens across the country, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”

Who doesn’t like a little sour candy once in a while?
We know one person who absolutely hates and loves all types of sour candies: your local dentist. They love the candy because candy of all sorts eventually leads to cavities and more patients. They hate the sour candies because of what they do to tooth enamel, simply as a matter of the high levels of acidity required to give you that mouth-puckering sour taste.
Web Watch has a friend who regularly jokes that he has a lack of adequate tooth enamel because of something his mother did (or didn’t do) while he was growing in the womb. While there might be some truth to that, he should also take into account the types of candy that he chooses to eat.
