This is one of the most efficient ways of losing or maintaining weight. Eating with your family does mean that it takes longer to eat, you relax and know when to stop. Just think, the French take 3 hours over their evening meals, and they are a super healthy nation! Not Just Apples´s last blog post..good old english market

You are right on all counts.

We eat at the table. As a matter of fact, we spend so much time at the table that I bought upholstered chairs. We talk and talk and talk.

My daughter is now 17. She’s always been a good kid. Part of the reason that kids are getting into trouble is because they’re not getting the love and attention at home. Family dinner takes care of that problem.

Another part of the problem is that the people who are eating on the run, or in front of TVs are usually the people who are not eating healthy foods. Many behavior problems come from a poor diet.

You won’t have those problems. Congrats on the new baby! Get your sleep now…

Good for you! We never did sit down dinners until the kids came along. It's an important part of our day, and one that I won't give up without a fight! cathy´s last blog post..Mercury found in some HFCS

This is always a huge problem for me. It is like I'm programmed to eat fast. I get it under control and then pick up the bad habit again. I don't usually eat more because of it, but I'm always done way before everyone else. :) Lori´s last blog post..Trying Some New Bars
