Getting Started: Mindful Eating to Lose Weight
Let’s get started with something easy for your first day!
Day 1: Drink only water, 8 glasses of it.
How to do it?
- Make your water more visible, better to be available on your working desk, so you remember to have a glass whenever you see it.
- Create a few alarms set to go off throughout the day and when one goes off drink a big glass of water.
- Drink water every time before you eat. It’ll help your stomach and intestine digest better, keep you hydrated, and even curb your hunger.
- Drink water when you crave for food. This can curb your hunger.
- Drink water with a piece of lemon added in. Lemon adds flavor to your water and stop you from craving for other unhealthy flavored drinks.
Why it matters?
- Water is your body’s principal chemical component and makes up about 60 percent of your body weight.
- It is important for removing waste from your body through urination, bowel movements, and perspiration.
- Drinking water instead of soft drinks or other kinds of drinks will reduce the chance of intaking excessive sugar.
