Would you believe me if I told you that I eat (mostly) ALL of my meals with chopsticks?

Yup, I do! I eat my kale salads, morning eggs and even my Italian pasta dinners with chopsticks.

Tip: To get into the habit of eating slowly, it definitely helps if you put your fork down between bites but it will help evenĀ moreĀ if you use chopsticks.

Chopsticks Benefits:
– slows you down so you end up eating more mindfully and enjoying your meal and your company more
– you pick up smaller amounts of food, so you end up eating your meal slower (and not as much of it)
– you get full on less food

Recommendations:
– look for ones that are dishwasher safe so they’re reusable
– I prefer Stainless-Steel Chopsticks or pretty wooden ones or http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002LXUEK/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0002LXUEK&linkCode=as2&tag=bewelwitari-20&linkId=FLGMCTBQRFAZKE5K ones but you can also purchase reusable, dishwasher-safe http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ2373S/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00BQ2373S&linkCode=as2&tag=bewelwitari-20&linkId=AJHJPJJTIYWBNEPWtoo.

Myth: Chopsticks are not just for sushi-eating or Chinese take-out orders!

Slow down your meals and feel full faster with these genius tool.
