Chew fruit-flavored sugar-free gum to prevent mindless eating. It's just
enough *like* eating to keep your brain from distracting you with
wondering what else you want to eat.

Mindlessly snack on celery! It's not literally true that you burn more 
calories chewing it than you extract from it, but close enough. The more
high-fiber, low-calorie-density food you eat the less junk food you have
room for.

Ideas for tricking yourself into eating less: drink more water, chew
fruit-flavored sugar-free gum, snack on low-calorie-density foods like
celery.

Tricks to combat mindless eating:
1. Chew fruit-flavored gum
2. Snack on low-calorie-density food like celery
3. Drink more water

It's kinda arbitrary how we're taking these tips -- gum, celery, water -- and combining them. I guess the theme is combatting mindless eating.
