How Can Mindful Eating help With Weight-Loss?

I wanted to share a series of tips that helped me lose weight in a healthy but also in a way that I could sustain in the long term. My first Tip is to help you learn is what mindful eating is all about and how it can help you keep your weight down.  

 

 

In the modern world we eat for convenience rather than for nutrition. We eat for instant gratification rather than long-term health benefits.  Can you imagine learning a new way of slow eating in which you actually get to experience the tastes and textures of your food rather than wolfing it down in a hurry or snacking on the go?  

I can help you to learn to slow down and eat mindfully! It worked for me and it can work for you, I can help you to see the food you eat as medicine that not only nourishes your whole system, but also tastes delicious!

 

So What Is Mindful Eating?

Its all about taking the time to honor your food by choosing high quality, organic food, preparing it with care and eating it slowly and mindfully using your five senses to really enjoy it. 

It means allocating quiet time to prepare and enjoy eating your meal without rushing or multitasking at the same time. I used to do that, eating with the television on, watching a You Tube channel or even reading messages on my phone. In fact anything really to distract me from the food I was eating. Then I didn't know that I was mindlessly eating, I was also eating too fast and hadn't recognized the fullness signals, so consequently I overate.

 Mindful eating is a way of saying to yourself: “I respect my body enough to be mindful of what I put into it and of the way I eat.”

 Think of this type of eating as a meditation. It means choosing to be present with your food and the way you eat it.     My clients find that eating mindfully helps to:

• Sense intuitively when you are full
• Gain way more satisfaction from eating
• Develop a healthy relationship with food
• See food as medicine
• Discover new tastes and textures
• Improve digestion (less gas and bloating)
• Regulate bowel movement
• Discover food sensitivities
• Create healthy habits that enliven you
