Diet Stress Tips...by G. Gaynor McTigue

Don't eat it if you don't want it.

The restaurant serves oversized portions. You take more food than you can eat. You don't want to disappoint your host. You don't like leaving leftovers. You feel guilty throwing food away. Whatever the reason, you often end up eating more food than you want...or need. This stresses your system, adds unwanted calories and leaves you bloated and full. Don't always feel you have to finish it. In fact, leave the table a little hungry. Overeating leads to many problems. Why make yourself crazy?

Eat slowly.

A meal is a gift, a source of pleasure, a time to relax and replenish. So why diminish the experience by scarfing it down like it may be your last? This may take some doing, but get into the habit of eating slowly. Chew deliberately and savor each bite. Take frequent pauses. Give your body a chance to accept and digest the food, rather than shock and overwhelm it. And try not to think about finishing fast so you can get to something else. This is what you want to be doing. So give each repast the enjoyment and sociality it deserves. Why make yourself crazy?

Read ingredient and nutrition labels.

Just because it's a brand name, comes in glitzy packaging, and people gush over it in commercials doesn't make it wholesome or nutritious. Thankfully, laws require companies to come clean and list ingredients and nutrition information on their products. Don't ignore it. It's far more revealing than their advertising. Find out how much sugar they're laying on you and your family. (The amounts contained in many foods and beverages will floor you.) Note the number of calories -- and grams of protein, fat and carbohydrates -- you're consuming. And if you have to be a chemistry major to understand a label, maybe you should pass on it altogether. Get serious about what you're putting into your body. Why make yourself crazy?
