Start Losing Inches with Healthy Habit #4!


Hey everyone!

Have you joined the Healthy Habit Challenge yet?  Don't you want to transform your life week by week with just 10 revolutionary habits?  They are so simple and so profound.  Your life will begin to change little by little, then momentum will build and pretty soon you will radiate good health!  It started with drinking water, to cleanse.  Then we started eating way more fruits and veggies, to nourish.  Then we combined lean protein and high fiber veggies at every meal, to satisfy.  Today, you learn to cut portion sizes and be mindful when you eat, to start losing.

When you eat, I want you to pay attention to how your body feels and how hungry you are.  Wait until you are at least a little hungry to start eating.  Then eat slowly, mindfully, enjoy your food.  Take at least twenty minutes to eat so that your body has time to send the "I'm satisfied" signal to your brain.  When you are no longer hungry but you don't have the "full" or "stuffed" feeling, that is when I want you to put your fork down.  Never again do I want you to eat until you are so full  that you want to take a nap after dinner.  I want you to stop eating when you are satisfied but not full.  You should feel light and energetic after your meal, always. 


Your don't need to count calories ever again!  Your body will naturally regulate calories with hunger signals.  That's one reason the first three habits are so important, even if you haven't seen very many results yet.  You needed to take care of the inside of your body so that all of those signals are working properly.  What good are those hunger signals if you're really just thirsty?  But you know the difference between hunger and thirst signals now because you've been drinking all of your water for three weeks now!  There is a method to my madness, people!

As always, check in with me and let me know how you're doing.  Comment here on my blog, find me on facebook and twitter.  You can email me at liveitupfit@gmail.com.  I try to answer everyone that writes me.  

Until next week, take care of yourself, love yourself, and ALWAYS believe in yourself!
