Its so True
Published by Diet Trials January 12th, 2006 in So Obvious, Golden Rules, Week 1On Day 1 I had a lunch meeting at one of the top local restaurants that always does really great food and this would be my first big challenge. The main topic of conversation while we ordered the food was the Paul McKenna programme. We were all in agreement that what he was saying were the 4 Golden Rules were so true and obvious if we had only sat down and thought about how we all eat.
How many time though have parents said to their kids that they have to finish their plate or else they won’t be getting any pudding? I know for certain that this is something that I have said many times before to my kids in the past but will now try to stop using it. When I was a kid it was always seen as a waste of good food to leave anything and you are programmed to eat what is put in front of you.
This is also so true if you are having a meal at a friends house and they have spent a lot of time preparing the meal. It is a Uk, if not worldwide, custom to clean your plate. What would they think if you left half of what you were given on your plate? If you make the excuse of that you’re full? Does this get interpreted that you don’t really like the meal? We have to now listen to our bodies and think about ourselves and if we are full why should we continue to eat only to feel bloated afterwards.

Hey love the blog. I saw the show too on Monday and was amazed at what Paul McKenna was saying. It was so true and obvious that you just wonder why nobody has come up with it before.
I have started on this diet…if you can call it that.. and hopefully it will be a great success.
Totally agree about the way we have been brought up to not leave food on your plate as it’s a waste.
I’ll keep watching your progress

This is certainly true for me too. I was always told by my mother when I was a child that if I didn’t eat everything up on my plate that it was a great waste and to think of all of the starving people in the world. But I would say that I was given too much in the first place!
