After eating a certain diet for many years, it unreasonable to think you can make big changes overnight. That’s why it’s best to break down your goal into smaller steps, otherwise you’ll be overwhelmed after a while.

Think About Your Goal

Studies have shown that eating slowly can help with weight loss and weight management. It’s not entirely clear why but it’s possible that it’s because eating slowly makes you full faster, helps with digestion, and aids people in making wiser choices in terms of how much they eat.
You Enjoy Your Food More
Okay, it doesn’t actually make you healthier, but you’ll enjoy the experience of eating so much more if you do it slowly and mindfully. After all, how much are you really going to enjoy that cheeseburger is you finish it in 15 seconds flat? Really taking the time to savor the flavors and aromas in every bite can make a huge difference in how much pleasure you get from your food.
It’ll Prevent Accidents (And Heartburn!)
Not only is eating quickly not the best for your weight, it’s also capable of actually hurting you. After all, nobody ever needed the Heimlich after eating slowly. And eating slowly can help prevent heartburn, too.

]]>Notice Your “Shoulds”
When you tell yourself you should or shouldn’t eat something and then do the opposite, guilt will automatically follow. Think about why you think you should or shouldn’t eat certain foods and question the sources of your beliefs. Learn how to listen to your body’s needs.
Eat Mindfully
Many people experience guilt after eating a bunch of snacks and empty calories as they watch TV in the evenings. If that’s the case with you, mindful eating might be the right approach. Avoid mindless snacking whenever possible and set aside time to enjoy your food without screens.
Be Gentle with Yourself
Many of us tend to be too harsh with ourselves. Try tuning your inner monolog to mimic the way you’d talk to a child or a dear friend. Don’t guilt yourself into eating or not eating something and don’t tell yourself you’re a bad person just because you didn’t eat enough vegetables or you had your favorite guilty pleasure food for dinner.
