Are your childhood memories filled with brothers and sisters devouring every last bite of their dinner only to leave you sitting at the table with half of your meal still in front of you? Or do you find yourself enjoying your banana before any bite of cereal?
While these may sound like strange idiosyncrasies, these eating habits can reflect your personality and lifestyle.
The most recent study of eating habits included five different categories.
Three of these include adventurous, fast and slow. Adventurous eaters are eager to try every new morsel, reflecting their tendency to take risks.
The fast eater is typically a person of great determination, but filled with impatience.
On the other hand, slow eaters usually find themselves savoring every bite of their meal and every moment of their life, which leads to slimmer waistlines and higher levels of satisfaction.
The isolationist and the picky eater were also studied. Isolationist diners eat only one type of food at a time, suggesting methodical thinking.
Picky eaters may be a bit neurotic and find themselves unable to gamble with their taste buds.
So, the next time you have a date or take a lunch break with your coworker, watch how they eat. You may find yourself dining with an adventurer or the neurotic isolationist.
