Chew your food well! Seems like an elementary thing to say, but in such a busy world we are constantly moving, grabbing food, eating fast, and moving on with our day. It takes 20 minutes for our brains to tell us we are full. Now, if we eat slowly, enjoying our food and the break that we are taking, how much less might we eat and still be full? Eating slowly means less food, less calories, while still keeping a satisfied feeling! Let your body digest the food properly and soak in all the nutrients. [1]
Take an honest lunch break and enjoy it! Don’t grab and run with your food because you might start to notice your waistline expanding.
Express your love today!
