Yes, we've all done it. Sitting in front of a TV, at a party, at our desks in midafternoon, even at the dinner table while conversing with friends and family... mindless eating. It's not necessarily a mealtime, or even snacktime. It's just that the food is there, or we're bored, or we're socializing. And somehow, we pop in an extra 500 calories or more into our gaping mouths without a thought.
It's easy to hit 400 calories per meal. By time you have a lean piece of meat, some fruit and salad, and a whole-grain bread, you've reached it. So three meals a day at 400 calories each is already 1200 calories. Add two snacks of 100 calories each, and you're at a common dieting goal of 1400 calories per day. Now, throw some mindless eating into the equation, and that diet is suddenly in dire straits!
It is my hope to accomplish two things with this blog: The first is to give you information that will arm you with knowledge about health and fitness. The second is to actually encourage you to act upon that knowledge to revolutionize your health.
In that light, here is a Web site that has some wonderful tips to avoid mindless eating - especially during this holiday season. Plan NOW to avoid the season of overindulgence!
