Habits of the Obese

Do these habits describe you? If any of these habits describe you, then it is time to change.

1. Use the largest plate.
2. Eat while facing the buffet.
3. Shovel and inhale food.
4. Clean their plates.
5. Chew fast, and less number of times.
6. Dive right in instead of being more selective.
7. Skip breakfast.

• Don’t skip breakfast.
