Quote of the Day
Recipe of the Day or a Healthy Diet Habit Tip of the Day
Why we eat, and your desire to eat can be from many different signals. The average person eats 20% of the time from physical hunger, and 80% of the time for other reasons besides hunger. What are the other reasons why we eat? If we can learn to distinguish our reason for eating, we can develop some healthy diet habits that not only relate to food but these other reasons! Find out why we eat from Kerry's Healthy Diet Habits website!
