Does anyone know some fun or life hacks to use while doing the one bite at a time challenge? Anything is a good idea for me😂
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Try eating with your non dominant hand - it's super hard to eat quickly. You can also try to put your utensil down between each bite as a good reminder to finish your bite before the next one.
