"Like" The New Sonoma Diet on Facebook for daily food and eating tips! Sonoma Tip: Relax and Dine Well Forget, for a moment, about what you eat, and think about where and how you eat. If you eat breakfast in the car, lunch at your desk, and dinner standing up in the kitchen with a take-out container in your hands, it's time to reevaluate your mealtime habits. Think about your dream dining space, one that's reserved only for the enjoyment and appreciation of food. A table, comfortable chairs, plenty of light, and lots of room for you to move are basic needs. Now take it a step further. You won't have a relaxing meal in a spot that's draughty, too warm, too cold, or cluttered. If your dining area is any of these things, a lamp, a space heater, or comfortable cushions can go a long way toward making your mealtimes more enjoyable. Even a small investment, like a pretty tablecloth or fresh flowers as a centerpiece, can make you more likely to take a seat, relax, and enjoy! Members Get More! Sign Up Now!
