I used to joke that one thing I learned after having kids was how to eat fast and at first I thought it was a joke but then I realized how detrimental this was to my health by putting my own needs down on the priority list.  Fast forward a couple of years and I found that I was STILL eating fast just so that I could get to the next childcare task or household task and I realized how poorly I was treating myself.  In this episode you’ll learn the benefits of adopting mindful eating techniques plus I’ll share my top Mindful Eating tips to get you started on the right path.  “Learning mindful eating practices really helps us re-learn when we ARE hungry and when we are NOT hungry.”  In this episode you’ll learn: 💥What is mindful eating 💥Benefits of mindful eating 💥Mindful eating techniques 💥Mindful eating vs Emotional eating 💥Hunger scale (link) Most weight loss programs don’t work in the long term and about 85% of people with obesity who lose weight will either return or exceed their initial weight within a couple of years.  This is why I’ve shifted my nutrition practices to reflect alternate or better strategies to achieve weight loss.
