Eat consciously

Are you aware when you get full? Are you really hungry when you sit down to eat? We spend much of our lives on ‘auto-pilot’ and tend to eat out of habit. Before each meal, ask your body what it needs -- develop an awareness of the foods you eat. Are you eating in front of the T.V or at the computer? Are you chewing your food well? How do you feel after a meal: bloated, comfortable, energized or sleepy? This indicates how beneficial the meal was to you.

Learn to eat when you feel a natural hunger in your body. Be aware of unconscious motivations to eat -- emotions such as loneliness, stress, boredom can trigger the need to eat. RELAX as much as possible before eating and try not to rush through your meal.
