*****
A lot of us reach for food automatically, even when we are not hungry; for a variety of reasons. We may be eating because it is “meal time” or “snack time”. Or we may turn to food to “take the edge off” after a hectic day. It can be incredibly easy to find ourselves eating while distracted or reaching for food for emotional reasons rather than physical hunger. This can become a problem because if we are not mindful as we eat, we may overeat; which can lead to unintended weight gain. Not only that, mindless eating can become an unconscious habit over time. Incorporating mindful eating practices can help you make progress towards improving your health and body composition. By developing the practice of mindful eating you can:
- Eat the right amount of food for your needs at the time.
- Better digestion. Eating more slowly and thoroughly can help you improve digestion.
- Avoid overeating. Eating too fast or eating mindlessly can make it easy to overeat.
- Build a healthier relationship with food.
- Get out of habit loops that are carried out on auto-pilot.
- Walk away from your meals feeling good, rather than sluggish from eating too much.
The good news is, mindful eating is super simple to practice; and yields huge results! In this podcast episode you will learn:
- How to decipher between physical hunger and cravings
- Eating slowly and eating to enough
- About emotional eating
