Eating better always starts at the grocery store. So, I became overweight because I was eating all sorts of crappy, horrible food. And most of the time that food just made me hungry for more food. When I did eat real food, I was only hungry for the richest, boldest flavors I could find: cheeseburgers, steaks, deep-fried spicy foods. Despite being a foodie and having a love of cooking and high-end cuisine, I had almost no interest in a piece of fish or a salad, not because I didn't enjoy eating them — I did — but because I wasn't satisfied by them.
Anything that slows you down when you eat can help you become more mindful of what you're eating, how much you're enjoying it, and how full you are feeling, according to a study done by Cornell University. One easy way to put a speed bump between you and your plate is to try different utensils. Chopsticks will slow most Americans down, but if you don't have pair handy, try simply switching your fork to your non-dominant hand. You'll have to concentrate harder before each bite and will pay more attention to your food. Here are seven mindful eating tricks to further draw your attention to what's entering your mouth.
Finally, it is time to bring protein back into the frame. Until Day 4, you focused on fibers, sodium, potassium, vitamins, minerals etc. Your muscles will start feeling the lack of protein by now. Hence, now with Day 5, we will put you on a protein rich diet so that your muscles don't succumb to fatigue. This day will also give you a break from the monotony of fruits and vegetables. The global version of GM Diet actually has consumption of meat on Day 5. We have substituted it veg. sources of proteins in the Indian version.
