Eating Rule #2- Eat Undistracted!

7/27/2011

We are back to talking about food after last week’s hiatus. Eating Rule #2 will be familiar to you, because I’ve talked about it before.  Eat Un-distracted. The idea is simple, eat your meals at your kitchen table at home, or in a designated eating area at work. It sounds easy enough, but the execution is always a problem! Studies show that you will eat less and eat healthier when you are not distracted by your TV or computer.

I know that I fall victim to eating at my desk. Up until 2 years ago- I ate lunch in the cafeteria at work almost every day. After my company went through layoffs and structural changes, I found myself eating at my desk, trying to “keep up”. Two years later, I still do it- and I hate it!  I try to get away from my desk a couple times of week. I know it’s great for my health, as well as my mind, eyes, and the rest of my body, to get a break from my office environment. It’s a challenge that I’m still working on.

So-Try it this week! Eat undistracted by the radio, TV, or computer! Sit at your dining table, with friends or alone, and just enjoy the time.

If this one is easy for you- I ask you to find a coworker who struggles with this idea, and bring them with you!

Happy Eating!
