Eating Tips

Here are a few quick Mind and Body Eating Tips that will help you lose those few extra pounds.

1. Chew your food slowly. This will help burn more calories (the more you chew the more you burn). And this will also help over eating because it will give your body time to process what your eating and tell your brain you are full.

2. Drink 1 full glass of ice water before you eat your meals. This will help burn more calories because your body burns more when the water is colder (the body must eat itself up for the ice water). This will also help you trick your brain into thinking your are already full when you are eating and will help you from over eating.

3. Do not watch t.v when you are eating. Studies have shown that when you watch t.v and eat, you eat faster and you consume more calories then compared to when you are sitting at the table with the t.v off.

4. Eat in front of a mirror. Studies have shown that if you actually watch yourself eat, then you will consume less calories and not eat as much than you would if you did not look at yourself while you ate.

5. Measure out your portions. Or if you are not up to this stage yet, look at what your putting on your plate and take off 1/3 of what you put on. Make your serving size 1/3 smaller at each meal and you will start losing those extra pounds in no time.

Yours in Health and Fitness,
