Day 1 Check-in: Mindful Eating Habits

Progress Check-in

Let’s have a quick check-in to make sure that you’re on track!

• You’re now drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day.
• You eat at least one fruit or vegetable riches in vitamin C every day, for example, orange, kiwi or tomato.
• You have replaced fried foods with oven-baked foods and healthy snacks.
• You have cut down the caffeine intake to half or more.
• You now chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly.
• You eat at least 2 hours before going to sleep every day.

If your answer is yes to all, awesome! You’re in great progress in making drinking water a habit. (Don’t miss out tomorrow’s extra tip!)

If your answer is no to any of them, don’t worry! Just do these today:

1. Buy a big pack of green tea bags

Drink green tea instead of coffee in the morning.

2. Put a big cup or bottle on your work desk or anywhere very visible to you

So you remember to drink water always.

3. Put two kiwis (or any fruits you like) on your work desk

So you’ll remember to eat one after lunch; and you can eat the other one when you feel hungry between meals

4. Talk and take things slowly when you eat

When you eat, after each bite, place your fork back on the plate and have some conversations with people around. This will slow down your eating pace.

5. Set an alarm to remind you not to eat after a specific time

If you usually go to sleep at 11:30pm, set an alarm at 9:30pm to remind you not to eat after that time. Set the alarm according to your sleeping habit now!

Repeat all the above actions every day!
