Have you ever noticed how some people can effortlessly and naturally have a tiny piece of cake, or one chocolate and savour whatever they are eating, to the fullest?
The main secret lies in the fact that they masticate their food well, which necessitates that they take smaller mouthfuls and they also eat in a more relaxed way.
There are no hidden secrets. It is all based on sound human physiology facts. You may feel that you could never learn to do this, but you can - and in a way that feels entirely natural and instinctive
You may feel so eager to consume the maximum amount of food so as to get the greatest “full” sensation as quickly as possible. At the outset we are not interested in whether the food is nutritious and healthy or the known unhealthy stuff that you normally find irresistible. You may feel guilty and bloated later but at the time, the food was all that was important to you. The only discipline that we advise at the outset is – limit the size of each mouthful to the maximum that you can masticate extremely well WITHOUT swallowing part of the mouthful before it was chewed well. Concentrate on being able to spread the food out over a large area in the mouth, whilst allowing the saliva and enzymes the chance to mix in with the food so that it can change its form and then be swallowed no longer as food, but as bolus containing nutrients from the food.
Naturally slim people don't think about how much they can consume, but rather what they will enjoy most. They are more likely to examine the spread, and select what they see as being the most fresh and nutritious – preferably as fat-free as possible. Whist selecting much less than you, they will still finish eating long after the not-so-slim fast eaters. Thinking Slim means you enjoy your food more because you make the decisions - not the addictive drive to eat the maximum and taste the minimum. Thinking Slim will make you feel better about yourself, help fat loss and improve your physical and emotional health
Eventually, it all becomes so automatic. You will not even have to Think Slim – the temptation will not even exist to over-eat. Thinking Slim will make you feel better about yourself, help weight loss and improve your physical and emotional health.
This should stand to reason. Carrying all that excess and unnecessary weight will definitely affect those joints, as well as the alignment of the spine
As a start, you must know WHY your body requires specific actions and behavior from you. If you do not understand why your body must receive specific actions on your part, how can you be expected to appreciate its importance? These essentials are - Control the chewing process. Smaller more manageable mouthfuls that can be spread out over as much surface in the mouth as possible. - Whilst this is going on the saliva and enzymes will be helping to change the status of the “food” in to “nutrients” that the rest of the digestive system will be waiting for. - You are fully in charge of this first & most important part of the Digestive System. Once the swallowing process starts, you have no further control. - You will also be making it a lot easier for the balance of the organs involved in the digestive system to carry out their functions as they were designed to do.
