Fit Tip

Ever eat a big meal at a restaurant and not realize you're "too full" until you stand up to leave?  Practice slowing down your eating.  If you're dining at home, set a kitchen timer for 20 minutes and make your meal last at least that long.  Re-invent yourself as a slow eater!  It takes our bodies at least 20 minutes to fully realize what we have ingested and feel satiated.  During your next meal, practice eating more slowly, enjoying your food, the conversation, the "down time" and feel refreshed, not stuffed after the dishes are cleared.
