At F3, we believe more in positive and healthy habits that are realistic and easy to implement into your busy life and less in restrictive eating, which is excellent for the women who purchase our products! Because nutrition plays a vital role in fitness and health, the eating experience helps us achieve our fitness/healthier lifestyle goals AND stick with them over the long term. Constant restriction or yo-yo dieting doesn’t do this and can, in fact, sabotage our effects when it comes to long-term goals.

So, after food journaling, rating our hunger, and removing distractions when we eat, let's talk about gratitude.

Here at F3, we believe in realistic eating that conforms to your busy schedule versus dieting, which can leave you feeling restricted when it comes to your meals.  Because of this, let's continue our discussion of mindful eating and how it can be an excellent tool for achieving your fitness and health goals. You can check out my previous posts on food journaling when it comes to mindful eating here, as well as my earlier blog post on rating your hunger here. 

In this post, we’ll discuss removing distractions when it comes to mindful eating and how this can help us achieve our goals.

Because F3 is more about realistic eating than restrictive eating, let's chat briefly about hunger cues, specifically the difference between physical and emotional hunger and the cues we receive when we experience them. Knowing the difference between the two can help you achieve your goals. 

Speaking from experience, I didn't know how to recognize the difference between these two as an emotional eater for years. Let me tell you, this was true even after I started my fitness journey. Because I struggled with it for so long, I will also still revert to this unhealthy practice if I'm not mindful.
