The Minty Gatekeeper

Chemically signal the end of eating with mint.

Nothing tastes good after strong mint. By brushing your teeth or using high-intensity mouthwash immediately after dinner, you create a sensory barrier that makes 'just one more bite' physically unappealing.

Execution Tips

⊕Keep a travel-sized toothbrush in your bag for dining out.
⊕Use extra-strength peppermint gum if you can't brush.
⊕Do this the second you finish your planned portion.

Cautions

⊗Over-brushing can damage enamel; stick to a gentle brush or just mouthwash.
