The relationship we have with food has evolved considerably even compared to our recent ancestors. Many years ago food was far less accessible or readily available and today we live in a culture where we can have food 24/7 should we choose to!
It’s not just the cost or availability of food that has changed. There has also been a change in the type of food we can have and they way we eat. Our lives are busy and it can become easy to get into the habit of eating processed and pre-prepared meals and we often make little time to eat but instead eat on the go.
Portion sizes have steadily increased and we struggle to regulate how much we now eat. It is known that we tend to eat around 92% of food we serve up to ourselves.
Currently we live in an environment that encourages us towards making unhealthy food and lifestyle choices. If you overeat it is not your fault, but you are capable of taking responsibility for making some changes.
