D.I.E.T.?
Did I Eat That?
When was the last time you looked down at your plate and found you’d finished everything?
Awareness of what goes into our mouths can help curb how much really gets in.
- Get real and acknowledge all the tastes you take while cooking, the food you finish from the kids’ plates while clearing the table, the last bites of what you served that don’t deserve their own container in the fridge.
- Get real with the trips to the vending machine, the treats on the receptionist’s desk, and the over-sized business lunch portions.
- Get real with the food you pick up on the run – the drive-through, the granola bars in your purse or briefcase, and everything you put in your coffee.
The easiest way to get real is to write it down. Keep a food journal, and commit to recording every single thing you put in your mouth. Do it for a week and see the difference it makes in what you eat. Do it for a month and see the difference it makes on the scale. You don’t need to D.I.E.T. at all!
