Hello friends, I am sharing my secret weapon for losing 43 pounds and keeping it off in today's episode.  It's called mindful eating and the 20-minute meal. Mindful eating means taking the time to honor your body by choosing nutrient-dense whole foods, that you prepare with care, yes that means cooking more meals at home and eating slowly and attentively using your five senses to really enjoy it. It means setting aside quiet time in your schedule to prepare and enjoy eating your meal without rushing or multitasking at the same time. Mindful eating is a way of saying to yourself: “I respect my body enough to be completely aware of what I put into it and of the way I eat.” The 20-minute meal will help you to stop eating on the run, overeating when you are full, and repair your relationship with food.
