Practicing Gratitude For Mindful Eating: A Tip For Busy Women

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.
