Research has found you’ll naturally eat less AND you enjoy your food more with this strategy: Table-Plate-Chair.
Meaning: Eat from a plate while seated at a table. Here’s what that looks like…
Yes! Let’s eat:
– Table + Plate + Chair
Nope! Not time to eat:
– standing in the fridge
– lounging on the couch
– clearing plates from the table
– working at the computer
– hovering in the breakroom
– driving in a car
– passing by a candy or nut dish at a party
Only eating meals & snacks w/ a table-plate-chair is powerful. Give it a try. It’s a game changer during the holidays and beyond.

I agree totally. Distractions are out when eating, I tell parents even homework is a distractions. Eat your snacks or meals at the same table and at the same place always.

Great advice! It really does help you enjoy your food eating this way…and I’ve found the best part is that I can use my own hunger & fullness cues better. Helps me tune-in…when I’m not tuned-out! xoxox

We always followed this logic when our children were home, not so much now that we are empty nesters. Time to reboot, table + plate + chair. Thanks!
