Paul’s third rule is -

Eat Consciously!

Again, I’ll summarize a few of the points he makes -

People who overeat ‘think’ about food all the time, but, when it comes ‘time’ to eat, they ’shovel food’ into their mouths -

Eat slowly, think about each and every food -

Chew the food and think about it -

Like when we ‘drive’ on the freeway, when we get ‘on an on-ramp’, we realize how fast we’ve been driving -

Eating consciously - slowly, no distractions, enjoying the food - allows us to actually feel ‘full’ when we are -

Eat at a quarter of the speed that you normal eat at -

My thoughts -

This makes a lot of sense.  Of course, the part of me that ‘loves’ the way I ‘feel’ when I overeat is SCREAMING at me - no, no, no, no, no…

But, eating slowly, putting the fork down, taking my time - being a human being about it - makes a ton of sense.

If you join his site, you can see a list of the ‘Golden Rules’ and I think there’s a forum, too.  Hmmm….
