- EAT BREAKFAST! Many people think that they will lose some extra pounds by skipping this meal. This is a common misconception-- breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After going without food overnight, your body and brain need fuel. "Breaking the fast" with a nutritious breakfast is the foundation of a successful day.
- Eat only when you are hungry-
- This means when your stomach growls and your body is running on empty.
- Do not eat when you are not hungry because your body will not use this new energy up; it will store it as fat.
- If you feel hungry, try drinking some water first over the course of 15 minutes. If you aren't hungry after that, then you were just thirsty.
- Calm your mind when you sit down to eat.
- You need to breathe deeply when you are eating to allow your brain to calm down.
- Slice your food into small pieces. This extends the time it takes for you to eat your food, so you get full faster and eat less.
- If you need further help with try doing meditation exercises to help you learn how to calm your mind
- Eat small amounts of food at a time
- Take small bites of food in order to help your brain register the food you are eating and help your brain register when you are full.
- Chew your food thoroughly
- You need to chew your food thoroughly for about 30 seconds, again, to help your brain register you are full
- Drink water between bites
- This technique cleanses the pallet and allows you to further calm your mind when you are eating
- Breath one to two deep breaths between each bite
- This again helps your brain register you when you are full. In addition, it further helps you to calm your mind while eating. If you are addicted to food, you will get a high while eating preventing you from paying attention to what you are doing. The important element is to calm your mind.
- Stop eating when you are full
- Remember to eat the best parts of your food. For example, if you like the pizza crust eat them first in order to prevent you from overeating. Eating the best parts of your food will allow you to stop when you are full because you have eaten the best parts of your food.
- Try not to eat late at night. Your metabolism naturally slows down in the evening and food becomes hard to digest. Avoid eating three hours before bedtime.
