When we eat and drink all the time, our stomach and all our other digestive organs never get a rest. When we never let ourselves become truly hungry, our enjoyment of food decreases. Isn’t it ironic? We think that by eating more we are enjoying eating more, but this is not true. It is when we allow ourselves to become truly hungry and then take time to eat slowly and with attention, that we find the most enjoyment.
