I have been nose-clipping around 300-400 calories per day, and I find that eating with nose-clips on has given me light wrinkles extending from edge of nose to edge of mouth. :shock: I think its because the skin in that area gets stretched during eating with nose-clips on. Hence I am stopping nose-clipping my food.   Any similar experiences?

Yikes! I'd stop too. Have you tried Bubble Nose-ing? That's how I "NC". I cannot deal with an actual clip. I understand that not everyone can BN. But it's extremely effective. Oh, and no one can see what you're up to.

 :? had tried bubble-nosing, but couldn't do it.  Maybe I tried it wrong.  Is there any guide page on how to BN? If there isnt, then 'How to BN' might be a useful thread.

I'd love to learn to BN too as I hate noseclips.

I hate the feel of noseclips, so when I NC, generally my protocol is:

a) make a drink out of bland ingredients (milk, yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese, etc.)
b) hold nose closed with thumb and forefinger of left hand
c) drink as fast as possible
d) rinse mouth with warm water (the theory is that the warm liquid dislodges fat molecules better than cold water)
e) breathe in ten times thru nose, exhale thru mouth, holding nose closed during the exhale

hmmmm Kirk....maybe I can do that everyday with a glass of milk....

BN: Try holding your breath with your mouth open. Or just breathe through your mouth while "cutting off" the passage that lets air in through your nose, as if you're walking through a really smelly street and trying not to smell it.   If you can do this, you'll notice that you sort of close the back of your palette but can still swallow.  That will cut out taste.

Hi IndianGirl,

I just take 4 Tbs of 35% cream not breathing with my nose. Rinse my mouth with warm water and wait for 10 minutes before breathing with my nose again.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone    have already started trying them.

xtine, thanks for BN details...tried it, but didnt really manage to BN...

I can't noseclip solid foods, or I choke to death. the feeling is horrible. So i only noseclip liquids or milky mushes. No naso-labial folds... maybe because I already have those for a couple years

It's odd: Some people seem to "get" BNing and some cannot manage it. I'm not sure how to explain it any better. Jas may have additional suggestions. Personally, I think it comes easy to me because I've had sinus, allergy and asthma issues most of my life. I literally mimic that and voila!
