Slow Eating: A Simple Change for Lasting Weight Loss

I don't think I ever met anyone who was a slow eater and who had weight issues. So, before you start eating, you should take a few deep breaths.
Ever wondered if the speed at which you eat could be affecting your weight? In this eye-opening episode of 'Shrink', psychotherapist and coach Philippe Tahon dives into the fascinating connection between eating pace and weight management. With over two decades of experience helping people lose weight and feel better about themselves, Philippe shares his unique insights and practical tips on how slowing down can make a significant difference in your relationship with food and body image.
Philippe reveals that he has never had a client who was both a slow eater and overweight, emphasizing the profound impact of eating speed on food intake. By eating slowly, we give our bodies time to register fullness, making it easier to control portions and avoid overeating. Philippe offers actionable advice, such as taking deep breaths before meals, chewing food thoroughly, and putting down your cutlery between bites.
These simple changes can help you become more mindful during meals, allowing you to connect with your hunger cues and enjoy your food more. But it's not just about the mechanics of eating. Philippe also discusses the importance of being present during meals and avoiding distractions like TV or smartphones. By focusing on the act of eating, you can develop a healthier relationship with food and improve your overall well-being.
If you're tired of yo-yo dieting and looking for a sustainable way to manage your weight, this episode is a must-listen. Philippe's compassionate approach and practical tips offer hope and empowerment for anyone struggling with weight issues. Tune in to discover how slowing down can lead to lasting change.
