Eating mindfully
January 14, 2024
Your body’s natural reaction to a calorie deficit that leads to weight loss, is to make you eat more food. The trick is to know a few tips and tricks to help manage that.
Dull your hunger’s bite
The first step is to eat delicious, nutrient-dense foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals like what we serve at Diced Kitchen, while staying within your goals. That way when hunger strikes, its bite is dulled.
The second thing to keep in mind is balancing your meals. You want the right mix of proteins, carbs and fats in your diet to promote satiety. Protein and fiber, especially, helps you feel full for longer periods.

Stay Hydrated
It’s also important to stay hydrated, because it’s very easy to mistake thirst for hunger. Drink enough water throughout the day, and at least a full glass with every meal. A good way to do this right is to make your first reaction to hunger a glass of water, and if that still doesn’t work, then you eat.
Eat Mindfully
Finally, be mindful of what you’re eating. A great way to do this is paying attention to your hunger cues, when they happen, and your progress throughout the meal. Eat more slowly, and appreciate every bite until your body tells you it’s full.
Eat only when you’re actually hungry, and stop the moment you feel full.
