Enjoying your favourite flavours, taking the time to sit down and sharing a meal: pleasure has its place at the table.
Pleasure, an ally
“Eating well” is often associated with effort and restriction. Yet pleasure is one of the best allies of balanced eating: we more easily keep the habits that make us feel good and that we enjoy.
Making room for pleasure doesn’t mean eating just anything. It means choosing foods you like, preparing them in a way that makes you want to eat them, and taking the time to savour them.
Taking the time to sit down
Eating standing up, in front of a screen or in a few minutes between tasks leaves little room for enjoyment. When possible, sitting down, putting your phone away and paying attention to your plate often changes the experience of the meal.
- Choose a pleasant place to eat, even a simple one
- Notice the colours, textures and flavours
- Eat at a pace that lets you savour
- Listen to your hunger and fullness cues
The pleasure of sharing
A meal shared with family or friends also nourishes our connections. Cooking together, trying a new recipe or simply gathering around the table is part of what makes food enjoyable.
These tips are general. If your relationship with food feels complicated, personalized support can help you find more peace of mind.
