Aside quenching hunger, eating plays a great role in your life but most of you are not aware of this fact because eating is a routine activity.

There are some eating abnormalies you exhibit without plans to curb them. Some of this habit include:

Not eating at the right time: for one reason or the other other, breakfast becomes brunch, lunch becomed dinner.

Finding it difficult to cook your own foods at times, instead you resort to eating fast food, junk or even skipping meals.

All of these habits summed up greatly affect the nutrition in your body. When trying to lose weight, it is pertinent to be mindful of what you eat, how and when you eat.

Mindful eating is learning to pay attention. Instead of eating mindlessly, putting food into your mouth almost unconsciously, not really tasting the food you’re eating … you notice your thoughts, feelings, and sensations.

In mindful eating, you learn to pay attention to:

Why you feel like eating, and what emotions or needs might be triggering the eating.

What you’re eating, and whether it is healthy or not.

The look, smell, taste, feel of the food you’re eating.

How it makes you feel as you taste it, as you digest it, and throughout the day.

How full (or sated) you are before, during and after eating.

Your emotions during and after eating.

Where the food came from, who might have grown it, how much it might have suffered before it was killed, whether it was grown organically, how much it was processed, how much it was fried or overcooked, etc.

If you adopt this technique to your weightloss routine, you will lose fat once and for all, and all your subsequent activities will be geared towards remaining fit. Mastering this technique takes practice. However, learning it is worth the time and effort.

At Slim Fit U, we will help you become conscious of your food consumption process as part of your weightloss routine.

We believe in the 80/20 rule, that is, 80% diet and 20% exercise. So when it comes to diet, and eating generally for weightloss, you can trust us to give you the best coaching, encouragement, group support and gentle nudges.

Aside for weightloss, some other benefits of mindful eating include:

Learning to eat when you’re hungry, and stop when you’re sated.

Really tasting food, and to enjoy the taste of healthy food.

You slowly start to realize that unhealthy food isn’t as tasty as you thought, nor does it make you feel very good.

As a result of the above three points, you will often lose weight if you’re overweight.

You learn how food affects your mood and energy throughout the day.

You learn what food best fuels your exercise and work and play.

Stop eating for eating sake. Eating is not supposed to be a mindless routine activity. Instead, eating is a well planned activity that should take extra care because, you are what you eat. And you know what? The saying, garbage in garbage out, is as real as tomorrow being Wednesday.
