Tips to lose fat and get lean: watch out for your fat friends!
Try not turn too many of your meals into grand social affairs. Research at the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that those who eat with a friend will typically consume double the calories than if they were eating with an unfamiliar peer. That’s an awful lot of extra and unnecessary eating in between gossip and chit-chat!
Social Eating In Action!
So the take home lesson here is to minimise social activity whilst dining and perhaps save it for the post meal coffees. Sans chocolates of course!
As hard as it may seem, very often we have to perceive food as being FAR more about function and less about an indulgence of the senses or an extension of one’s social life. I am rediscovering this myself right now as I go through a total sea change in my dietary habits due to an H Pylori infection (more on this in a later post), and it is always worth reminding ourselves that all, and I do mean all, of our great fat loss transformation clients have broken ingrained dietary habits to get themselves in stellar shape.
