Our research has shown repeatedly that consumers are split between a focus on health and indulgence when eating out, but when it comes to making that final menu decision, indulgence consistently wins out. Three in four consumers (74%) say they’re more likely to try a new menu item if it’s indulgent, compared with 26% of those that would say they were more likely to try a new menu item if it was healthy. This is despite the fact that consumers are virtually evenly split when asked if healthy vs. indulgent offerings are “very motivating” on menus. Sure, it’s important to offer healthy menu options, but new items that lean toward the rich and satisfying will likely prove more popular, as most customers will opt for a splurge when they eat out. #coolstat #menudevelopment #restaurants

Imagine this: You're chatting with friends about healthy eating. You say, "I prefer eating salads; they're good for my health." It sounds great in theory. But then, you're at a restaurant, faced with the menu. There's the crispy, juicy burger and the fresh, green salad. Despite your earlier declaration, your hand reaches for the burger. Sound familiar? This phenomenon isn't just about food choices. It applies to various aspects of life – from the workouts we plan but don't do, to the books we intend to read but end up watching TV instead. We often articulate preferences that align with our ideal self-image, but our actual choices may reflect our comfort, convenience, or deeper desires. So why does this happen? It could be due to social expectations, where we voice preferences that we think are more acceptable or admirable. Or it might be a conflict between short-term desires and long-term goals. The burger represents immediate gratification, while the salad aligns with a longer-term health goal. Understanding this dichotomy between said and actual preferences is important. It can help us become more self-aware and make choices that truly align with our values and goals. It's okay to choose the burger sometimes, but being conscious of our choices can help us make more balanced decisions in the long run. What are your thoughts on said vs. actual preferences? Have you experienced this in your life? Share your experiences and insights! #Choices #Lifestyle #HealthyEating #SelfAwareness #DecisionMaking

Are you a fast or slow eater? If you want to eat more healthy or even want to loose weight I recommend you try to eat slowly. The more slowly you eat, the better your stomach can digest the food. Try to chew each bite min. 20-30 times. Additionally the more slowly you eat, the less you eat. It takes ~ 20 min that we get the signal that our stomach is full and we feel we have eaten enough. Thats why when eating slowly you won't eat as much as if you gobble your food down like a wolf. And last but not least concentrate on your meal. Don't eat alongside your work. Eating is fundamental for your body to function great. So enjoy your meal, be thankful for it and give it all your attention. So next time you eat remember to chew 20-30 x, be thankful for your meal and focus on it. Taste the flavours, feel the texture and relish your meal. Did you try it or are you already a slow eater? Let me know your experiences 💚 (Video taken at Restaurant Tantra Salta Vegano, Salta, Argentina) #cleaneating #healthydiet #homecooking #health #weightlossjourney #wellbeing #weightlosstransformation #eatinghealthy #eatingtips

Mindful eating is about savoring each bite, noticing the flavors, textures, and smells. Slow down, chew slowly, and fully enjoy your meals. La alimentación consciente se trata de saborear cada bocado, notando los sabores, texturas y olores. Disminuya la velocidad, mastique lentamente y disfrute plenamente de sus comidas. #MindfulEating #SavorTheMoment #foodie #traumainformed

🌟 Health Tip of the Day: Practice Mindful Eating 🍽️ In our busy professional lives, we often rush through meals without truly savoring our food. Today, let's focus on mindful eating: 1. Slow down: Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. This helps with digestion and prevents overeating. 2. Savor flavors: Pay attention to the taste, texture, and aroma of your meal. Appreciate the culinary experience. 3. Put away distractions: Turn off screens and put away work while you eat. This promotes a mindful connection with your food. 4. Portion control: Be mindful of portion sizes to maintain a balanced diet. 5. Listen to your body: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Stop eating when you're satisfied, not stuffed. Practicing mindful eating not only improves digestion but also fosters a healthier relationship with food. Try it today for a more enjoyable and nourishing dining experience! 🍇 #MindfulEating #healthtips

Want to raise healthy eaters? Get your kids involved in the food preparation process. A little one is often much more willing to try a food if they’ve been involved in growing it, choosing it, or preparing it. Take them to a farmer’s market or the produce section of a grocery store. Let them see all the colors and select new options to try. Involve them in planning the menus and preparing the food. Let them cut up the vegetables into interesting shapes. Playing with food doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Encourage them to be creative and try new food combinations. Serve small portion sizes for new foods. This allows them to try a taste and feel curious rather than overwhelmed. Offer new foods more than once. Just the fact that it was on the table and they saw you eat it is helpful. Try preparing it in a new way and try again. Plan meals that can be served buffet style, such as a taco bar. Let them pick out the items they want. Watching other family members eat items they didn’t select may entice them to want to try them later. Include healthy eating in your Family Fitness Plan. Make mealtime fun and relaxing and avoid any stressful confrontations. #family #parenting #familyfitnessplan #pickyeaters #HealingYourFamilies #winwinwomen
