292 - Top 4 Mindful Eating Habits

Maggie Sterling
About this episode

Ever feel like you're doing everything "right" but still can't figure out why you're overeating? You know you should listen to your hunger signals, stop when you're satisfied, and eat without distractions - but something keeps getting in the way. In this episode, we dive into why the simple tools for weight loss feel so impossibly hard to actually use. We explore the uncomfortable truth about why you can't seem to put your phone down during meals, why you eat like you're being chased by a tiger, and what's really happening when you look down and your plate is suddenly empty. If you've ever thought "I know what to do, I just can't seem to do it," this conversation will shed light on the real barriers between you and mindful eating - and why your resistance to slowing down might be the biggest obstacle of all.
