"If you could just tell people not to eat so darn much."

So advised Walter Breuning, who turned 113 this week and is the world's oldest man. He claims he's managed to stay healthy and live so long by eating just two meals a day (breakfast and lunch). He also eats lot of fruit, drinks a lot of water, has a couple cups of coffee a day and takes a daily baby asprin.

"I think you should push back from the table when you're still hungry," he said, adding, "If people could cut back on their normal weight, it wouldn't be quite so bad, They just eat too much!"

So true. I'm the first to admit that I'll gorge myself whenever there's food around; I love food, and I love to eat. In fact, I pride myself (and impress my friends) on how much I can put away in one sitting. But lately, I've been trying to re-jigger my eating habits. I'm paying attention to how much I eat, how hungry I am, and when I feel full. It's really no fun to gorge yourself and then feel bloated and uncomfortable.

And I have to say, I do feel so much better (and my jeans are looser, too!). Surprise, surprise. Words of wisdom from the oldest man alive? I think it's probably pretty sound advice.
