Natural Weight Loss - Chew

Even if what you are eating right now is far from perfect. Don't worry.

You can still benefit hugely from a small shift in how you are eating.

Failing to take your time and chew your food properly usually means you will swallow much larger pieces of food than your body can handle. Your body will struggle to digest and get the full benefit from what you eat. You will also end up consuming more food than you really need since your brain won't have enough time to know it is satisfied.

Not chewing enough also causes: Low energy, indigestion, discomfort, excessive eating and weight gain.

Fast eating with minimal chewing means your food will take far longer to be digested, sapping your energy. Since you have eaten too quickly the only way you feel satisfied is when you are stuffed.

With a little extra time and effort in the chewing department, you will start to let food to make you fitter rather than fatter.

Remember though, this does not mean you can eat junk 24/7 and still make amazing progress through chewing alone, but it will make a massive difference with zero need for a diet overhaul right now.

So how do we stop eating too much, too quick and start tapping into far more energy, better digestion and achieve a healthier weight.

First, we slow things right down.

PRACTISE TIME

Please go and grab something to eat right now, something small like an apple. Take a bite and chew it 20 times or more on each side of your mouth until the food is a paste. Get your tongue involved, moving the food around your mouth and coating it completely in loads of saliva.

Resist the urge to scoop the food to the back of your mouth and swallow it too soon before it is properly broken down.

Done

You have just taken the time and effort to break your food down much more than you normally do and the digestion process has already begun thanks to increased saliva involved.

Repeat that with every mouthful, every time you eat and you will also be giving your brain enough time to signal when it is satisfied rather than stopping when your are completely full.

In the NATURAL and EASY stakes, chewing is right at the top of the pile.
