Week 2 - Getting started
IN THIS LESSON
This week introduces the psychological aspect of eating and the importance of building strength.
Goal: Practice mindful eating and increase fiber intake.
Key Learning:
Mindful Eating: Pay attention to your food—its taste, texture, and smell—and recognize your body’s hunger and fullness cues. Eat slowly, without distraction (like phones or TV). This helps prevent overeating and improves digestion.
Fiber Power: Fiber, found in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and legumes, is crucial for digestive health and helps keep you feeling full.
Action Step: For at least one meal each day, eat mindfully. Intentionally choose a high-fiber food (e.g., add lentils to a salad or choose whole-wheat bread).
