Ou...No, we don't practice it.... but we should!<br />Our childhood days were all built around proper mealtimes and few snacks. Like as you say, an apple... or a slice of bread and jam! My son was completely horrified when I offered him both those options recently!! xxjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-80914560245381339302014-12-11T20:03:02.220+02:002014-12-11T20:03:02.220+02:00I think celery and carrots make good snacks too, t...I think celery and carrots make good snacks too, they take a while to crunch through like apples.

If I had to think about food 5 times a day I'd be eating non stop and never feel full, whereas I can contain my eating to 3 times a day and slightly larger meals after which I do feel full.

I guess I did not realize how "old school" I must be, but I did not see as a thing of the past the very logical (to me) "if you don't want what food I give you know, then you are not really hungry." This being said, I would add that sometimes, even as a child, I did feel genuinely hungry in between meals and there was always something in the fridge for me to eat (something home-made though, nothing else). The hunger in such cases was usually related to some intense studying or similar activity, so I wouldn't really think of it as poor meal hygiene.

We've come to see hunger as a pain to be avoided, rather than a healthy and normal signal from your body, that yes, needs attending to, but not as an immediate issue. Do you think we all learned that you appreciate a meal so much more, if you're properly hungry? I'm not sure our children these days ever have that experience. We've denied them it.<br /><br />I try to keep snacking to a minimum in my household, though I'm a bit of a prime offender! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, with a snack when they come home from school. I really try to steer clear of bedtime snacks, which I think are often either boredom-related, or delaying tactics!<br />Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
