Most people don’t think about what they’re eating. We don’t take the time to notice the food on our plate, the taste, texture, aroma of food. Large servings of food is so readily available to us that we tend to overeat and gain weight. Ask yourself just how hungry you are.   Take a little less (you can always go back for more). Eat slowly, chew more, notice when you start to feel full. When you feel full, STOP eating. Try not to eat standing at the sink or in front of the television or computer. This mindful eating might even help when you feel the need to snack.
