Mindful eating....the 1st 4 Bites

Okay, I'll be really careful of my first 4 Bites...do I need the rest? Mindful Eating...what I must do!
Hugs Debbie (I want contentment and not dieting!)

The 1st Four Bites Posted: 21 Oct 2010 03:52 AM PDT When you are physically hungry, your taste buds are primed to experience the most amount of flavor in the first 4 bites. After about 4 bites, your taste buds have had so much information delivered to them, some of the food taste becomes "white noise".  The flavors you experience just won't be quite as good as they were at first.  If you concentrate on being mindful for just those first bites, you will get the maximum amount of enjoyment from enjoyable foods and end up needing less to make you feel content. And when you can boost your contentment with less food, calm and weight loss follow.

Hi Debbie,

First, I wanted to say I'm glad to see you back, hope everything is okay.

This is something I talk about ( although I don't always practice it...lol), at our support group meetings.  It makes so much sense, especially for us.

Thanks Susan, I'm just so busy with work right now. Gotta take time with my OFF family too!

Well, YEAH....

Welcome Back DebbieJean!!!

This is a great message....one I will think about and use often...thank you!

I hope you are doing better now....you were missed!

Hugs and love....connie d

Hi Connie...I'm getting back on track girlfriend. Still not up to "par" but pushing though the pain and bloating after eating. I think I will just go on Atkins shakes and see how that does me for a week. Flush my system out!

Very interesting. I will keep that in mind.

Good to have you "home" Debbie
