Mind your Manners…
Proper table etiquette doesn’t just make you look nice–it can also help you lose weight
Here’s something to chew on:
SIT UP STRAIGHT.
You instantly look taller and thinner, and the more “formal” posture makes you less likely to linger at the table. Many people eat way more than they need just because they’re too comfortable.
CHEW SLOWLY
It takes the brain several minutes to register that you’re full. By taking slower, longer bites, you actually savor the flavor and give your body time to tell you when you’re ready to stop.
TRY A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING
It’s not polite in Pinoy society to refuse food. Today’s diet gurus say that it may not be prudent. Many people fall off a diet because they feel deprived. So go ahead — satisfy a craving with one or two bites, then fill up the rest of our plate with the healthy stuff.
