Dinner Time: The Perfect Time to Rebuild Family Togetherness

Posted by Nouman Chughtai on Friday, October 30, 2009



As a professional counselor, I've learned that food plays an integral part in drawing human beings together. It also plays a big role when it comes to family stability.
Yet we see an ever-increasing trend within society to diminish the amount of time families spend together in enjoying an evening meal or dinner. This trend has been growing at an alarming speed.
The evening meal may in fact be the only time families sit down together (if they even do). Nowadays with the availability of every type of modern media easily accessible, family time faces an even greater challenge when competing with TV and other enticing forms of entertainment. When parents and children don't set aside time to really converse with each other, a key ingredient to keeping the family stable is lost.
One of the most important ways to find out how everyone in the family has been feeling, and what they've been doing all day, is to search for and institute creative ways to make the dinnertime experience fun! Parents can make dinnertime a unique, special and enjoyable time to build values they wish their children to live by.

Being hungry and craving sweets are two of the main reasons people fall off their diets. But what if eating cookies and not being hungry was part of your diet plan? The cookie diet uses cookies to entice dieters into easy weight loss. After all, what could be more appealing than losing weight while indulging in one of our favourite treats? But these are not your grandmother's cookies. Instead they're designed to be meal replacements made with fiber, protein, and other ingredients intended to keep you full. They're not nearly as sweet as grandma's, though they're certainly palatable. They contain no drugs or secret ingredients, other than amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and fiber that act to suppress hunger. How it works On the cookie diet, there are no decisions about what to eat, but which flavour cookie to eat, and what to have for dinner. It's a relatively mindless diet strategy that has reportedly helped half a million of patients lose weight. The cookies contain select amino acids thought to suppress hunger, fiber, and other ingredients that digest slowly to help keep you feeling full. Eating four to six of the cookies a day will give you somewhere around 500 calories.
