1 Weird (and embarassing) Trick To Eat Better

[AlexaWilson]

I read this in a book by Richard Wiseman (an English pop psychologist). If you want to eat better, eat less and have more awareness about the food you're eating then do it in front of a mirror.

I know - it sounds crazy to eat in the bathroom or your bedroom so the only sensible solution is to install the mirror by the family dinner table!

We did this and I've noticed the change.

The first time it was weird and awkward and I was very awkward chewing with this big mirror there but after a few days I noticed that:

- I ate slower
- I chewed more carefully
- I got full sooner
- I made smarter decisions eating

Now - if only they had more mirrors at Cold Stone Creamery!

I was going to add one of my own--tell everybody you're gluten intolerant--but that is brilliant.

I think I will use that when I'm at my house and eating.

Several friends have expressed much improved health from avoiding gluten altogether.

I don't know - there are some compelling explanations for not eating gluten!

Alexa this doesn't sound crazy to me at all! it comes across to me as a very clever and creative method for reminding, and supporting, yourself to "be conscious" while eating.

i think it's a novel idea, and a great example of inventing something that works for you to acheive the results you want.
