- Eating slowly will help you feel fuller and decrease the calories you consume each meal, which leads to shedding the unwanted pounds! It takes ~20 minutes for your head to tell your stomach it’s full, so aim for at least 20 minutes per meal. Thanks to Lisa Nelson RD of HeartHealthMadeEasy.com for this tip.

- RippleEffect.net helps you get your customers to do the talking, sharing their comments on your website. They call it "rippling" for two reasons: 1. One ripple can have an effect for years to come; 2. Your website is only the starting place. Who knows how far it will go? Change the nature of your customer relationships with interactive social media marketing.
