What Kind Of Eater Are You?
Part 1
by Christi Lehner, H.H.C., AADP

You can learn a lot about someone's health by watching her eat. The next time you dine in a restaurant (or at your own dinner table) ask someone to watch you eat. Then ask them to explain what they observed.

After observing myself and my clients, I've identified three different kind of Eaters:

1. The 'Inhaler': this person eats a four-course meal in under 10 minutes. Once she's done, she has a hard time remembering what the food tasted like.

Have you ever driven to work, and realized that you didn't pay attention to a single second of your commute? That's what meals are like for Inhalers. They shove food in their mouths so quickly that they hardly even notice the taste or texture of the food.

You know you're an Inhaler by these tell-tale signs:

You crave food constantly. Even after finishing a meal, you aren't satisfied.

You eat frequently throughout the day. You are always on the lookout for food.

You feel bloated and heavy after most meals.

You have no problem cleaning your plate (if licking your plate was sociably acceptable, you'd probably try it out!).

You finish anything that is put in front of you (even if you don't love it, and even if you're not hungry).

You swallow your final bite when everyone else is still on their appetizer course.

You weigh more than you'd like, and you often experience indigestion.

2. The 'Multi-Tasker': this person has mastered the art of eating on the go. She likes to eat, but she's simply too busy to sit down and focus on the meal. Somehow she has figured out how to eat while typing, talking on the phone, driving to work, getting dressed, and changing a diaper.

You know you're a Multi-Tasker if these things sound familiar:

You can't answer questions during work meetings because your mouth is full of food.

You eat straight out of a pot on the stove or a leftover container in the fridge (because that means you won't even have to wash a dish after the meal!).

Your plates can usually be found strewn about the house - on the dresser, the coffee table, or your desk.

You often eat standing up at the kitchen counter.

Your napkins and placemats never need washing.

You rarely sit at the table to eat (if you do, you've got a magazine or book on hand to keep you busy).

You may experience indigestion and you have more abdominal fat than you'd like.

You sometimes forget to eat because you're so busy.

3. The 'Picker': this is the person who snacks constantly throughout the day. She doesn't eat big meals - instead, she eats lots of little meals. She is notorious for picking off her friends' plates at restaurants (that way, she can sample dessert without ordering it, and feeling the inevitable guilt). Sometimes, she is so tired and hungry when she gets home from work that she just picks her way through her pantry. Halfway through the evening, she notices she's not hungry for dinner anymore!

You'll know you're a Picker if you notice the following trends:

You have convinced yourself that the foods on your kids' plates don't have any calories in them if you eat them.

You can't list what you've eaten throughout the day, because you haven't actually eaten a regular meal.

Most of your meals are 'cold' - you don't have warm meals often.

Your dinner often consists of microwave popcorn, a few crackers, and a spoonful of peanut butter.

You eat constantly (sometimes you're hungry, and sometimes you're not).
