Real Food Challenge- Day 21

"Do all your eating at a table."

Your desk is not a table.  And neither is the driver's seat of your car!  When we eat while doing other things, we eat mindlessly and wind up eating more than we would if we were actually sitting at a table.

"Limit your snacks to unprocessed plant foods."

Americans have added an average of 500 calories to their daily diet since 1980, which just so happens to be when the obesity epidemic began.  The bulk of these excess calories have come in the form of salt, fat, and sugar laden processed snack foods.  If you are going to snack, limit your choices to fruits, veggies and nuts.

"Serve a proper portion and don't go back for seconds."

Portion sizes have gotten out of control in our supersized culture, so what exactly is a proper portion size?  You'll find different theories on this, but the easiest for me to remember is that a serving of animal protein should fit in your plam, a serving of veggies should fill both of your cupped hands, fruit fills one cupped hand, a serving of grains is the size of your fist, and fat or oils should be no larger than the size of your thumb.  If you still decide that you HAVE to have seconds, at least wait several minutes before going back.  After giving yourself a few minutes, you may discover that you really don't need more, or at least not as much as you thought.

"The banquet is in the first bite."

No other bite will taste as good as the first.  Each subsequent bite will continue to diminish in satisfaction, so savor your first few bites and stop eating sooner than you otherwise might. Taking more bites doesn't always mean you'll receive more pleasure.

"Spend as much time enjoying the meal as it took to prepare it."

Honor the cook (even if it's you!) for the care he or she has put into preparing your meal by slowing down and savoring your food.  I know that in my house, it can be frustrating at times to have carved out the time to prepare dinner, only to have everyone finish their meal in 5 minutes and rush from the table to head back to their phones or computers.  The time it takes to prepare the meal would be so much more satisfying if we spent the same amount of time enjoying it together.
