This nutrition shift sounds too easy,(It's not that simple but it's simple) but it works

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

I’ve been learning a lot lately in my nutrition course, and today I want to share something that surprised me.

It’s not about what to eat or how much; it’s about how we eat.
Because sometimes, the smallest shift makes the biggest difference.

Last week, I told you how I used to finish my food without tasting it, all in a bid to catch up with work or other tasks.
This often leaves me feeling heavy, tired, or weirdly unsatisfied after eating.

If this is your experience, stay put, because you are about to be wowed. 😏

So here’s the truth you didn’t know you needed to know:
Eating slower can help you feel full, stay present, and enjoy your food more.

Sounds too simple, right? Yeah, no, it requires patience and practice.

And I’ll show you how to start on Thursday. 😌😊

Until then, I want you to notice how fast you eat this week.
No pressure, no shaming, just awareness.

Remember, you are not going on any “special diet.” You only need to learn how to eat slowly and enjoy every bite.

See you Thursday.

This is a cue to pause and do something for you now that you still have time. Even if all you do is take 5 quiet minutes to breathe. Or stretch. Or sit in stillness without rushing to the next...

The Frozen Brain: What to do when you feel mentally stuck

You know that feeling: You're sitting in front of your laptop. Your to-do list is breathing down your neck. You're not tired… But somehow, you can’t move. That’s not laziness. That’s catatonic fatigue, a silent, sneaky burnout symptom most people don’t talk about. That's not what catatonic means 😂 What does being catatonic mean? This stuck, frozen state can happen when your nervous system is overloaded and your brain quietly shuts down “non-essential” tasks like emails, dishes… even getting...

How to tell if you're really hungry or just craving a snack

This week came with a load of stress 😩. From dealing with unsatisfied clients, creating content late into the night, to sending a debtor reminder to pay me for March work! I was STRESSED! Guess who slumped into stress eating? Me. I had that urge to munch on something even after eating enough food. I had to check myself immediately! Somebody say MINDFUL EATING If you've ever had that snack attack even when you just ate lunch, welcome to the club.That urge to chew something while doom-scrolling...
