How to think slim

by Pete Cohen
continued from page 1
  1. Savour your food
    No one knows for sure how long it takes for your stomach to tell your brain that it’s full, but experts estimate that it takes at least ten minutes. Do yourself a favour and slow down when you eat. Pause between each mouthful and chew everything properly. From now on, put your knife and fork down between mouthfuls, pause between courses and take time to taste every bite. You’ll be amazed at how great some of the food you usually take for granted actually tastes when you give yourself time to enjoy it.
  2. Treat your body better
    Your body wasn’t designed to sit at a desk all day and in front of a TV all night. It was designed to move. Most of us don’t move enough. Slim people are naturally more active – and that doesn’t mean they go to the gym every day. Moving more doesn’t mean you have to embark on a punishing exercise regime or go jogging for miles. It just means respecting your body and taking little steps that will help you become fit and healthy. Perhaps you could cycle to work instead of taking the car or train or walk the kids to school instead of driving them there. Whatever you choose, the key to getting results is to build more activity into your daily life.
