R2Ks – from what I’ve read, exercising every day isn’t generally good for you if you’re doing 20+ minute workouts every day. Your body needs time to rest to gain its true strength from the efforts you’ve made – however, if you’re doing less than 20, it might not be as needed.

I don’t get the “don’t read while you eat” one too much either, to be honest. The only thing I can imagine is that they don’t want you sitting down with a book and a bag of cookies, chips or some other food becuase you’re more focused on the book (and just eat eat eating) instead of a careful portion of food.

I suspect that if you’re sitting down with a set amount of food and your fork isn’t wandering off to other plates, or your hands dipping into the chip bag, it would be okay.

There are some great ideas here. I do indeed follow the advice of going to the grocery store when I’m not hungry and I also take a list.

I sort of started keeping a food diary (I need to get better about doing that) and I was surprised at how much I ate. Once I started recording what I ate, I actually put less food in my mouth, because I thought about how much food I consumed as I wrote it down.

Those are terrific…but I can’t figure out not reading while you eat. Last time I checked, it added no calories. Unless the implication is that you tend to eat more because your attention is diverted…but if all I have at the table is all I should eat, why not read…? Is there something I’m missing?
