FREE COACHING MOMENT!
We're sharing one of the many fantastic lessons from our online nutrition coaching program today. It's very simple, yet very powerful...and if this is just ONE DAY of the program...imagine what we can help you achieve in a month...three months...even a year! (Learn more...)

***********************
"This week, we've been talking about why it's important to slow down, relax, and pay attention — and how this apparently simple change can eventually have big results. Today, we're going to give you a slightly wacky suggestion: if you overeat, do it slowly (Trust us. This sounds crazy, but it works.)

More speed = less control. 

Whether it's garden-variety overeating (as in "Ma! No more pasta! OK, maybe a little"); distracted eating ("Oops! Did I finish that entire bag of chips while watching Breaking Bad?"); or binge eating ("I totally lost control"), many folks in the PN Coaching program struggle with their food choices sometimes.

It's normal.
Ever notice what overeating episodes and/or poor food choices tend to have in common? Speed.
If you've ever been through a classic binge, you know what we're talking about. It's like going on autopilot.

Hand, mouth, hand, mouth, hand, mouth. Picking up speed as you go, faster and faster and faster. Once you get serious momentum, it feels almost impossible to stop.

And right now, if you're struggling with binge eating, we won't ask you to stop. 
Binge eating does something important and valuable for you.

Right now, overeating solves a problem for you (even if it creates other problems).
So, if this resonates with you, let's talk about another solution. Instead of "don't overeat", overeat slowly.

Wait... what? Yep, overeat slowly.

Think about it. What's the Opposite Day for binge eating, where you cram down a lot of food as fast as possible?
Eating slowly. You can still binge. Eat as much as you want. Eat whatever you want. (We'll worry about changing this later. For now, one thing at a time.)

Yes. You have our permission and you read that correctly: If you are in the throes of a compulsive eating episode, eat as much as you need to — and whatever types of foods you want — in order to cope with the feelings you're experiencing.

Eat until you're done. The only catch is that you eat slowly.

Wait...isn't that irresponsible?

Well, if you're like most folks who have grappled with overeating, you've tried to "just stop". You've tried to talk yourself out of it. You've felt guilty, regretful, and ashamed. Did it work?

Probably not so well.

So in fact, the most "responsible" thing is to learn to be present with your eating, instead of checking out. You do that by slowing down. One thing at a time!

Right now, overeating does something for you. It's a way to cope. We're not going to take that away from you if you need it. All we're going to do is change one small thing at a time.

Whatever you eat, whenever you eat, no matter how crazy or epic the eating episode becomes... just do it slowly.
You can eat everything you want. As much as you want. As long as you do it one mindful bite, one deep breath, one pause to savor, at a time.

Hey, you want that food. You might as well truly enjoy it.

Make like a turtle. Sloooow downnn."
