THE SOCIAL NETWORK
The stories that grabbed your attention on Network ’ s social media in the past few months .
Our gigantic problem with portions : why are we all eating too much ?
A shared story about portion sizes got a lot of traction : ‘ Up until the age of three or four , children have an enviable ability to stop eating when they are full . After that age , this self-regulation of hunger is lost , and sometimes never relearned ’
19 secrets spin instructors will never tell you
A shared feature revealing the tricks of the indoor cycling trade obviously resonated , with many of you choosing the ‘ secrets ’ that struck a chord with you . We kicked things off with : ‘# 9 . There ' s nothing more awkward than trying to teach an entirely silent class .' Agree ?!’
Rachel : Self regulation is trained out of us . I hate this concentration on portion size as it is another way to count calories which obviously does not work . Let kids leave food on their plates , if they were hungry they ’ d eat it
Ashley : My mind understands this , but my heart and my stomach say “ No No !” Damn . They make excellent arguments .
Rachael : Haha familiar !
Sandra : Haha ! I defs wouldn ’ t be able to do it . I think I ’ ll stick to being a participant
Dayna : So true !
