Weight loss : Six Steps to EAT MINDFULLY during Weight Loss | How to eat during your weight loss Journey | Steps to Eat during your Weight Loss | How to Eat mindfully?|


Humans are blessed to have a Brain. Where comes the topic of doing things with a mindful approach. When we human beings tend to do things that what we like, then we do them with precision and mindfully and why not we deal the same thing with Food!!!

We eat not just to fulfill our Hunger but also to fulfill our soul.There are times when we stuffed our bodies with junk food and fast food on a daily basis. we become  overweight and unhealthy, addicted to snacks and fried and fatty food, and would mindlessly overeat.

Instead of eating mindlessly, putting food into your mouth almost unconsciously, not really tasting the food you’re eating … you notice your thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
You learn to pay attention to:
Why you feel like eating, and what emotions or needs might be triggering the eating.
What you’re eating, and whether it is healthy or not.

Mindful eating is the practice of cultivating an open-minded awareness of how the food we choose to eat affects one's body, feelings, mind, and all that is around us.When eating mindfully, we are fully present and savor every bite-engaging all our senses to truly appreciate the food.

“The rhythm of life is becoming faster and faster, so we really don’t have the same awareness and the same ability to check into ourselves,” said Dr. Cheung, who, with the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, co-wrote “Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life.” “That’s why mindful eating is becoming more important. We need to be coming back to ourselves and saying: ‘Does my body need this? Why am I eating this? Is it just because I’m so sad and stressed out?’ ”

Mindful Eating Helps you rediscover a healthy and Joyful eating with Food!!!!


Lets Discuss Six Steps to Mindful Eating:
  

💯Mindful Eating Helps you rediscover a healthy and Joyful relationship with Food!!!! Eating mindfully is an art! It helps you eat for a longer period and makes you eat less subsiding your hunger.





1.     Eat only when our body tells you to eat

Feeling hungry at the start of a meal is good, but eating every time you feel hungry can result in overeating. learn the difference between being physically hungry and emotionally hungry. For example, snacking at work may have more to do with boredom.

2.    Start with a small portion.

Eat smaller Bites and chew them properly. It may be helpful to eat in a smaller plate than you usually use to eat.

3.    Avoid Distractions

When eating Just Eat. Bring all your senses to the Food and eat attentively. Cherish the Color, aroma, texture of your Food. It is when your body starts to discover when your stomach is full.

4.    Eat slowly, chew thoroughly

Your Body needs atleast 15-20 Minutes to realise that it is in the process of Eating. This is when you tend to eat less and feel fuller in less time as your hunger tends to subside.

5.     Listen to your Body and stop when full

Decide and discover your portion of Food. It is only for you to decide how much to eat, when you are attentive of your body, of your Stomach and Hunger

6.    Eat Foods that are Nutritionally healthy

Well, at last the concept of mindful eating comes out of healthy eating. You should know and try consider where your Food comes from and cultivate the habit of consuming foods that are good for your Mind, Body and Soul.



🌸The way your skin and body look from outside can also determine your relationship with food bcoz from inside not many can judge. And it’s not about the set rules or principles, I am talking about. Its not that only fat people have an unhealthy relationship with food. It could be thin people who could be thin as well or who look aesthetically fit too.

🌸Healthy relationship with food is that when you learn to say no to bad food. You learn what to eat and how much to eat. Binge eating is alright at times. Everyone does it (including me). But how often do you do it that matters the most.

🌸It is when we begin to understand and change the way we look at food, do certain changes to our eating habits and start taking charge of our life’s.

🌸And by the way, it’s not an obsession, it’s a lifestyle change to adopt.

Weight loss: Diet Food that makes you Fat ?? Eat Mindfully and avoid certain things during Weight Loss !

Diet Food is a fad!

Nowadays Diet foods, such as those labeled “low-fat,” “low-calorie” or “fat-free,” are specifically marketed to people looking to shed excess weight.

However, many diet foods may do your waistline more harm than good. These packed Foods are really fattening than what they really seem. Don't go for how the companies market them but do check what their ingredients list actually contain.

Lets discuss some of them,


1. Brown Bread:

🍞Although brown bread has replaced white bread, don’t choose them blindly. Most brown bread brands come with all refined flour and very little portion of whole wheat flour, that makes the bread lose many of the nutrients. The refined flour lacks fiber, natural minerals and vitamins and most of the vital nutrients get damaged in refining the flour,leaving behind a rich source of sugar.
🍞In the processing of bread, sugar, salt and all of preservativesare added. Even most Bread packets are devoid of whole wheat and colouring agents are added to make it look like Brown Bread.

🍞Whole Wheat Bread are usually very fibrous and you could just feel the real fiber in the Bread. But it is really difficult to differenciate both. Although claimed to be made of whole wheat entirely, most brown bread contains maida, which is one of the reasons of considering white bread as unhealthy. So all the weight watchers should choose your bread wisely!!!!

 2. Health Bars:

✔️Many of you consider these health bars a everyday convenient and healthy snack and enjoy their flavour and versatility. They may contain as much sugar, carbs, and calories as candy bars.

✔️These bars are often highly processed and contain added sugar, artificial sweeteners, and sucrose which can negatively impact our health. They may contain 200 to 300 calories per Bar, which may amounts to one entire meal calories for many of us.

✔️In some cases, these bars can be a good source of fiber and protein to help curb cravings between meals. Still, studying ingredient lists carefully or choosing to make your own healthy bars can ensure that your snack is both nutritious and delicious.

✔️ You can have your homemade peanut Chikki, Til Chikki, Dry fruit Chikki etc. instead as a healthy snack option also. Will be sharing the recipe soon.



3. Packaged Juices:


🍉Tetra Packaged juices, with zero pulp are low in fibre and high in sugar. Even though they read as “No Sugar” the juices contain Fructose, corn starch and other artificial sweeteners which are used as an alternative to sugar.

🥝Our homemade fruit juice stays fresh for not more than 3-5 hours. A lot of fruit syrups, flavors and Preservatives are added to keep the packed juices fresh and taste the same even after months.

🍇All this makes the packed juices high in calories  compared to the fresh juices made at home.

🍒At times, packaged juices may not be very harmful but may also not be beneficial. It’s always better to have freshly prepared juice rather than packaged juice and consume fresh fruits over fresh juice.

4. Diet/ Digestive/ Whole grain Biscuit:

🍪Diet or Whole-wheat Biscuit are filled with sugar, refined flour and fats which are not required for your body and will only deteriorate your health.
.
🍪Baking soda and sodium soluble substance are added to make them taste Crunchy. They are high processed foods with Zero fibre and filled with preservatives to make them sustain for many days.

🍪Maida dough is prepared easily, and it is easily workable and feasible other than the Wheat flour which has fiber and whereby the dough starts to break, and work ability and sustainability of biscuits becomes difficult.

🍪Even though the packaging reads whole Wheat, very little amount of wheat is used in the processing. The commercial branding of the product makes us believe that the product is made of Whole Wheat.

🍪However, stick to eating just one or two at a time, instead go with your Homemade Biscuits or Nankhatai, Khakhra, Bhakhri to aid faster Weight loss.
