I follow diet and nutrition trends as a hobby. I love learning about it and talking about it. I am NOT an expert and am NOT qualified to professionally chat about diet and nutrition (although for 12 weeks and $600 I could be, so should I crowd source that? LMK \ud83d\ude09 )
All this is is me collecting my current personal thoughts into one place. This is not health or nutritional advice, I am not a medical professional, talk to your doctor before starting anything.
If you have ever felt shame when eating, hidden eating (not including a bag of chips when the kids are about), or feel that your body will never be \u2018enough\u2019, or ever used food ((or exercise) as a reward or punishment, SEE A DOCTOR to rule out an eating disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, this is step 2. Step 1 is over here<\/a>, if you are looking for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two— and this is the single most important thing Noom apparently teaches— Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, you do not need to pay the cost of a ‘new pair of shoes’ to learn that. Remember last step we talked about just breathing? Yeah this is linked. Just think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, not like that. The idea is that many of us (hi!) consume mindlessly while doing other things. So, the plan is to pay attention to every thing you grab to consume, all water, candy, junk food, vegetables, whatever. If you are going to have a soda as a pick me up in the afternoon, really pay attention to the soda. Do not link food with any judgements (except if you like it or not) and you do not need to record what you eat. Just for a full week, be aware of what you are eating, Explore it with all your senses, and be mindful of how it also makes you physically feel. You do not need to do more than that- no meditation, no yoga (unless you want to). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some places to learn about mindfulness that are free:
Mayo Clinic<\/a>
A Free Course<\/a>
Activities!<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you do not need to do any extra work or study to just be *aware* of what you are eating and how it makes you feel. Just try doing only that for a week and then come back for Step 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
