Tip of the week!

Make time for eating. Stop whatever you are doing and concentrate solely on what you are eating. This will allow your brain to register that you have eaten and you will feel satisfied with a smaller amount.

How many times have you been thinking about something as you walk away from your car, only to wonder if you locked your car? Of course you locked your car - you just didn't register it in your brain as it was busy thinking about other things.

Same principle applies to eating: "Did I just eat something? Not sure - better have some more".

If we focus on our food, not only will we enjoy it more but we'll eat less of it - leading to better health and weight control.
