Episode 3: Follow Your Gut

Are you tired of dieting? Have you tried several methods to lose weight but feel nothing works for you? What if I told you that you can lose weight without giving up your favorite foods?

Yes, you read that right. You can eat the foods you love and lose weight if you focus on how you eat. This strategy is called Mindful Eating and is one of the most effective strategies to promote a healthy lifestyle and weight loss.

Mindful Eating is a method that focuses on your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. A goal of mindful eating is to slow the eating process to get in tune with how your body feels during a meal. You will learn to recognize hunger cues so that you stop eating when you are satisfied rather than eating until you are full. This technique allows you to consume the foods you love; however, it makes you aware of how much you eat and how those foods make you feel.

Once you have mastered mindful eating, you can determine what to eat, how much, and how foods make you feel. Doesn't this sound much better than following a diet restricting your favorite foods? Today's Podcast provides instructions to eat mindfully and the following three strategies to ensure that you are successful:

1. Disconnect and Connect: Learn how to disconnect from electronics and connect with your food.

2. Slow Down: Get my favorite strategy to order food at restaurants.

3. Make Intentional Choices: Ideas to prepare for situations so you don't unintentionally overeat.
