I was looking into doing a cleanse and came across something that just might be a game changer. One of the plans recommended chewing each bite of food at least 20 times. When I tried out the technique, I quickly realized that I’ve been chewing about a third of that!
As a former binge eater, I never took the time to chew my food properly. It was always shove it in so we can get to the next course.
Now, after taking the time to chew and savor my food, it takes me twice as long to finish my food and gives my stomach the chance to register that it’s full a lot earlier.
It’s amazing how something so small can make such a big difference.
I really think that thoroughly chewing my food has helped with my digestion. I mean, how could it not!
And how have I been mistreating my body for so long and been allowed to get away with it?
Why haven’t I taken care of my health until now? Why did I have to hit rock bottom to actually take action and change my life?
The important thing is that I’m doing something about it now. I’m so glad I didn’t wait another day to go on this weight loss journey. I am almost four months into this and can’t imagine ever going back…
