Day 5 Eat slowly.

How to do it?

  • Clock yourself while you eat. Try to designate a block of time to eat, and only eat. If you are reading or watching TV, you are not paying attention to the food you put into your mouth.
  • After each bite, place your fork back on the plate. You will be forced to slow down automatically.
  • Chew your food thoroughly before your next bite. The better you chew, the better your system can process the food you’ve ingested.

Why it matters?

  • A growing number of studies confirm that just by eating slower, you’ll consume fewer calories.
  • If you eat slower, you’ll chew your food better, which leads to better digestion.
  • Eating slowly, and paying attention to our eating, can be a great form of mindfulness exercise.
