How to Eat
- Pay more, eat less. Better food costs more.
- Eat until you are 80% full. It takes 20 minutes before the brain gets the word that the belly is full. Eat slower and consult your sense of satiety
- Eat meals. Snack less
- Do all your eating at a table and try not to eat alone
- Serve smaller portions on smaller plates
- Use glasses that are more vertical than horizontal. We tend to pour more into squat glasses
- Leave healthy foods in view, unhealthy ones out of view
- Leave serving bowls in the kitchen rather than on the table to discourage seconds
- Eat slowly. “Slow” in the sense of deliberate and knowledgeable eating
- Cook and, if you can, plant a garden. The food you grow yourself is fresher than any you can buy.
