Lose Weight by Slowing Down


Eat Less By Slowing Down and Enjoying Your Food.

Do you find yourself rushing through life? Are you always busy? If so, this could be contributing to many health problems, including weight gain.

What can you do?

Try slowing down a bit, especially when it comes to meal time. If you're in the habit of eating while standing or eating very quickly...You need to sit down, and slow down. Take the time to enjoy and savor your food.

Here are some ideas:

1) Enjoy a glass of wine while you cook and/or with your meal.
2) Make yourself put your fork down as you chew between bites
3) Think about what you are eating. Notice how it feels in your mouth and enjoy it's flavors.
4) Make mealtime a sacred ritual. It is your time to take care of yourself. Enjoy it.
5) Get a Nanny....LOL

These ideas all take practice, but it is well worth the effort. I have dropped 20 lbs in the past year. Yes, very slowly. Relaxing at mealtime is one of the major changes that I have made.

This really works!


Weight Loss, Health
