Abréger son souper, c'est allonger sa vie.

Abréger son souper, c'est allonger sa vie. [To shorten one's supper, is to lengthen one's life.]
Ph02851j

The original quote, "To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals," is from Benjamin
Franklin's book "Poor Richard's Almanack" which by the way is a particularly useful little tome which sits on my bedside table but it is unfortunately usually buried beneath a pile of half-read books, magazines and crossword puzzles...

If your not successful simply walking away from the bounty, simply refuse to eat sugar or carbs and see how quickly your appetite dissapears. (worked for me anyway)
