Repeat after us: you can leave food on your plate!

Eating when we are already full can take its toll on our digestion system. The more food you eat, the longer it takes to digest. If you overeat often, this delayed digestive process will mean that the food you eat will remain in your stomach for longer and will be more likely to turn into fat.

In a world where there is so much food wastage, it's normal to feel guilty for not finishing our meals. A good idea is to use your compost bin! If you don't have one already, you can call your local council to order one. That way, you don't have to feel guilty about throwing food away. You'll also be contributing to helping the environment! Double win. 🙏🙏

When we eat too quickly, we swallow more air! This can lead to digestion issues like bloating and gas.

A good way to slow your eating is to think of it as a mindful activity. You can count how many times you chew before you swallow your food, you can smell, touch and really enjoy the taste of each bite, or you could even sit outside and listen to nature while you slowly enjoy your meal.

Remember to always have a mindful moment while you eat. You'll feel better in the long run!

Here's a good rule to live by: if there is food in your mouth, there shouldn’t be food on your fork! It's always a good idea to wait until you’ve finished chewing and swallowing whatever is in your mouth, before taking another bite of your meal. When it comes to adopting healthy eating habits, this simple habit will make a really big difference.

Unconscious eating is not uncommon. We've all done

Unconscious eating is not uncommon. We've all done it! This practice often happens when we are multi-tasking, or when we are bored. It's called unconscious eating for a reason – often we don't realise we are doing it until we are left with an empty packet! You can stop unconscious eating by buying smaller packages, or sorting larger packages (like popcorn) into smaller serving sizes. This is known as 'the portion size effect'.

The popular saying, “out of sight, out of mind” applies here as well. You don't have to hide your food, but simply store it away so the mere sight of it doesn't tempt your senses. There are so many tips and tricks to stop bad habits in their tracks. Head to our website to learn more.
