Appetite

I once had a terrible flu that lasted for several days, during which I couldn’t eat a thing; I just sipped water, slept, and retched. When I finally felt a little better, I made myself some plain rice with a bit of salt. I was so hungry that the aroma from that humble bowl of rice intoxicated me and I felt close to drooling. My stomach had shrunk, so I ate very slowly. The rice tasted incredibly delicious and felt like a wave of pure energy entering my exhausted body. I can’t remember a meal that gave me more pleasure or satisfaction.

We needn’t starve ourselves in order appreciate the food we eat, but to be fully awake to the glories of eating, we at least need to exhaust what we consumed at our last meal before we eat again. When you arrive at the table already full from snacking, you cheat yourself out of the greatest pleasure in dining, and you’ll likely leave the table feeling overfull and sluggish (and thinking about eating something sweet to shake off the lethargy that comes with overeating).

Microresolutions can help you reform your eating behaviors so that you’re hungry at mealtime, experience greater eating satisfaction, and you burn nutrients more efficiently. If you regularly sit down to dinner or lunch with anything less than true hunger, examine your eating behaviors to pinpoint a change that will better align your hunger with mealtimes. It could be dropping a snack, retiming a snack, eating a lighter snack, or exercising before a meal to burn off some excess fuel. Making just one microresolution to reduce snacking or up your exercise can have a profound effect on your long-term weight and eating satisfaction.
