The Guideline

Use the mental meal map as a tool to help you eat the right quantity.

Notes

When the eyes become clear, body healthy and appetite increases, it’s a sign of success, according to the Hatha Yoga Pradipika . No wonder then that when you portion control, force yourself to eat less, mask your appetite with tea/coffee/chewing gum/soups/fibre gels, etc., success, even on the path of weight loss, becomes elusive.

A good life is where you are able to tell the difference between your need and greed. A life where you learn to enjoy food, fitness and health without feelings of guilt, remorse and frustration. But today we feel that we are fat because we eat too much or consume too many calories. The truth is that we live in ‘obesogenic environments’ – we have created situations and formed habits where it’s almost impossible for us to nurture our appetite and eat just the right amount. And so, we have the mental meal map, a simple tool that anyone can use to understand their appetite and learn how much to eat.

The infographic below explains the simple steps of the mental meal map.

Step 1: Visualize how much you would like to eat

Step 2: Serve yourself half of that portion

Step 3: Take double time to eat this meal

(or the same time as your full portion)

Step 4: If still hungry, start again from step 1
