Quick story: the other night I whipped up a healthy dinner—25 minutes of prep! I hadn’t even sat down when my son polished off his plate. I looked at him, wide-eyed, and thought, “How much time did you spend preparing that meal versus him eating it?” Turns out, he gobbled it in 3 minutes flat.
That got me thinking: if you speed-eat like my kiddo, your body doesn’t have time to register fullness. My #1 tool this week? EAT SLOWLY. Seriously—channel your inner sloth and give your brain a chance to catch up with your stomach.
Here’s how to hack it:
20-Minute Rule: Block at least 20 minutes per meal.
Mini Bites & Mega Chews: Small bites, lots of chewing—your jaw gets a workout, and your gut says “ahhh” instead of “uh oh.”
Mindful Gaps: Put your fork down between bites. Notice the flavors. Engage all your senses instead of bingeing while scrolling. Savor people!
Why it works: as you dine at a leisurely pace, your gut hormones and stretch receptors get to text your brain: “Full here—no more, please!” You’ll naturally eat fewer calories and dodge that post-dinner coma. You want to leave the table satisfied, not stuffed like Thanksgiving turkey.
Curious how this fits into your unique diet? I’d love to take a look and fine-tune your meal rhythm one-on-one. Just hit reply, and we’ll get you chewing your way to success.
My goal is simple: to help you achieve yours—one delicious, leisurely meal at a time!
