We all curl up with a great
show and takeout once in a while, but research has shown that
people who eat while distracted not only consume more but also lack awareness
of how much they've eaten. So whether you live alone or with others, start by
planning one night per week for a sit-down dinner, and then build toward making
it at least three times a week.
At those meals, put food on
a plate—even if it's delivery, you'll enjoy it more—and focus on learning
about each other's day, or just relish a few moments of quiet on your own.
The more you practice, the more you'll realize how much more you can appreciate
every bite and flavor of food and be able to better interpret your hunger cues.
In other words, you'll be eating more mindfully. You may even stop eating
sooner than usual and have leftovers for lunch the next day.
