Eating Well -
By Michael Masterson
Eating well goes beyond the healthy high-fat, low-carb diet we
regularly recommend in ETR. It means making every meal special - and that
doesn’t take as much effort as you might imagine. You don’t have to
spend a lot of money either.
Here’s how to do it:
-
Select good-quality foods that are good for
you - and avoid foods that are bad for you. Foods that are
bad for you are those that, although they may taste good, make you
sick or give you stomach problems or make you tired. Many people are
negatively sensitive to dairy and wheat products, yet either don’t
know that they are or don’t care. There are so many good things to
eat. Why make yourself miserable for a cheap, temporary thrill?
-
Plan your meals. You don’t have to
spend hours with recipe books, but if you take a few minutes each
morning thinking about what you will eat, you may find that (a) your
pleasure will increase due to the joy of anticipation, (b) your
selection of food will improve because of the little extra thought
you’ve invested, and (c) your midsection may thin a bit, because
planned meals, studies say, are healthier ones.
-
Practice moderation. You can have too
much of a good thing. Anyone who’s a fan of Entenmann’s chocolate
doughnuts knows that. The trick to eating good meals is, in part, to
eat no more than the optimum amount of any one thing. This applies to
all foods, but it is especially true of the foods you like.
-
Go slowly. You can’t taste food
when you wolf it down. I know. I’ve wolfed down at least a thousand
good meals.
-
Stay focused. I don’t believe in
multitasking. And this applies to eating too. Yes, it’s quite
possible to eat and read or work at the same time - but if you do so
you won’t enjoy your meal as much as you can. My recommendation is
to eat good food slowly and in good company. Make each bite count.
Enjoy the experience.
-
Mentally prepare to enjoy your meals.
In fact, this may be the most important thing you can do to make every
meal a good one.
