SeeSaw.com has conducted a survey on eating habits and found that tree-fifths of people are eating their evening meal in front of their computer. I could have saved them the money on this research as it’s all too common and not just for evening meals. The main culprit is lunch, with virtually all my clients who are office based eating lunch whilst on the computer. To really enjoy your food and be aware of your body’s natural signals to stop eating you must concentrate on your meal. Enjoy the taste, the smell, the textures, the colours! Give some respect to your food and your body by taking time to nourish yourself without distraction.
Take a break from work or the PC and you will come back refreshed. Enjoy a conversation with your family or friends. This will slow your eating and help you to notice when you have had enough and can stop. Remember its all waste, whether you waste it in the waste bin or waste in on your waist.
