And I want you to begin by eating donuts, as many as you want. Or chocolate. And fish and chips or pizza. And drink coke. Anything you really love. You can have your cake and eat it too!
Here are the rules:
1. Choose one meal and make it your junk meal. But don't graze on these foods during the day.
2. Wait until you are genuinely hungry before you begin. Don't try to eat a healthy meal first - make this the meal.
3. I want you to really, really enjoy and relish what you are eating. That means no driving, working, dishes, TV, video games, etc, while eating. Just sit back, relax and eat.
4. You can eat as much as you want. Don't try to stop yourself for any reason. Just eat your favourite foods until you are completely satisfied.
5. The most important rule of all is to feel no guilt. Just pure, unbridled pleasure and indulgence.
If you are going to do this then please do it right - I want you to religiously follow the rules above. Sounds easy? You bet it is - Do it!
Before you begin, there is just one last rule:
6. Throughout the process, the day before your meal, during your meal and after your meal, I want you to really, really feel how your body is feeling - your teeth, skin, hair, stomach, eyes, legs, whatever. How are your energy levels? Do you have a clear head? How is your breathing, your digestion and your mood? This is not about judging yourself or feeling guilty- I want you to analyse yourself like a good scientist - objectively and curiously, with no agenda or baggage.
And, be absolutely honest.
Although you may not realise it, you have just taken your first step towards becoming an intuitive eater.
