I mentioned last week that I hadn’t taken lunch breaks consistently the week prior and suspected that this was the cause of my digestive and overeating issues.  The experiment was for me to take a proper lunch break and not eat at my desk to see if I felt differently last week.

The results are in and the answer is a resounding “YES.”  My digestion was better, I didn’t have stomachaches, was more satiated and didn’t feel the need to snack in the afternoon because I ate more slowly and mindfully.

I highly recommend that you try your own experiment to see if eating slowly and mindfully works for you and makes a difference in how you feel after you eat.  If you choose to accept this mission, please post a comment on how your experiment went!  Buon Appetito!
