Dear Ewa
Have you ever wondered why so many people respond to stress, boredom or emotional upset
in their lives by eating?
Strange as it may seem, there is a very good reason for that. Whenever we do something that
is essential for our survival, like eating, breathing deeply or making love, we release a happy
chemical in our brains called serotonin.
People who are overweight often shovel food into their mouths as quickly as possible in order
to get a serotonin high, temporarily offsetting the effects of stress in their lives.
Unfortunately, because they are eating unconsciously, they never notice the signal from their
stomach that lets them know they are full. So they keep on stuffing their faces, expanding
their stomachs and putting on weight.
Bring on golden rule number three:
Eat CONSCIOUSLY and enjoy every mouthful
There are two keys to making this work for you over the next few weeks:
1. Eliminate Distractions
Change your eating habits by making each time you sit down to eat special. No TV, no radio,
no reading while you eat. Simply concentrate on your food and the pleasure that eating it is
giving you. (If it s not giving you pleasure, chances are you either aren t hungry or aren t
eating what your body REALLY wants. Remember, each of these golden rules work together
to create a system the simplest weight loss system in the world!)
2. Slow down
I want you to slow your eating speed down to about a quarter of what it used to be and chew
each mouthful thoroughly. Smell your food before each bite. Put your knife and fork down
between every mouthful, so you can really give your body time to notice what it s doing. If
you re not using cutlery, prise your fingers off your sandwich and put it down between each
bite. When your mouth is empty, you can pick up where you left off.
In this way, you make every bite a conscious choice, eating your food like a gourmet and
savoring every mouthful instead of shoveling it in on automatic like a barnyard animal!
Until tomorrow,
Paul McKenna
