I am a chronic impulsive and quick eater—I can scarf down a whole meal in under 5 minutes, which is terrible for recognizing my hunger cues. This has lead to over eating and feeling uncomfortably full more than I care to admit.
Well, I’ve found the solution that works for me! All I did was look up a timer to beep every 30 seconds (I just use a YouTube video), and make sure that I only take my next bite after the beep. This is super simple, but really helped me slow down and really enjoy my meals!
Now I find I take smaller bites, chew my food more, enjoy the flavours more, and I feel full at the end of my meals and have no urge to mindlessly snack later! I know it’s a weird flex, but I’m proud to say that I took nearly 45 minutes to eat two slices that I could normally scarf down in a minute. I don’t do this beep method with every meal, but I try to do it at least once a day to get into that habit, so eventually eating slow will feel completely natural!
This may not work for everyone, but it has been absolute magic for me! Highly recommend trying it if you are also an impulsive and quick eater!
