ating is something most of us do while doing something else entirely. When we actually show up for a meal, we start to notice satiety cues, flavor, satisfaction — all the signals that support a healthy relationship with food.
The Tool: The First Three Bites Practice
• Before eating: pause and take one breath
• For the first three bites: put your utensil down between each one
• Notice: flavor, texture, temperature, when the first wave of satisfaction arrives
• After: eat the rest of the meal however feels natural
What did you notice in those first three bites that you usually miss?
