Great Cuisine is Just the Beginning for a Great Dining Experience
When doctors or nutritionists are advising people on the best way to lose weight, they often suggest focusing on the meal experience. They may suggest dining with your best porcelain, use cloth napkins and drink from your best glassware, and turn off all distractions. If you can completely focus on your food and feel like eating is a special experience, your ability to savor the food will prevent you from overeating. This helps you eat less since you are not just absent-mindedly stuffing food in your face in front of the TV. If you are dining with a lovely plate of food, you are going to eat that differently than if you plop down on your couch with a bag of chips. This focus on your meals helps you control your eating and view dining as a healthy, pleasurable experience. If you want to try this trick and you are ready to create a space that will feel great to eat in, you can help the environment in a few ways. Creating a perfect dining room is as easy as adding art, comfortable furniture and soothing colors to the environment. Items like picture lights can help you make the space special. A picture light highlights your art and adds to the ambiance.
