Want More Time? Lose Weight.
Each of us has the same 24 hours in a day. But it’s so easy to say “I don’t have enough time.” The question is not, “how much time do you really have?”
We already know the answer.
Instead, how are you spending your time? The actions you take everyday generate the results you get.
When I started to lose weight, I suddenly had more available time.
How long does it take each day to plan daily meals that fuel your body?
5 minutes.
How long does it take each day to prepare 2–3 simple meals?
1 hour.
How long does it take to eat one regular portion meal?
8 minutes.
How much extra time do I allow my mind to think about food?
15 minutes.
How long does it take to assess how my plan went at the end of the day?
5 minutes.
It’s pretty cut and dry. And when I did the math, I figured out I only need about an hour and a half each day devoted to food if I want to lose weight.
You need to understand that before I changed my mindset around eating, I wasted a lot of time, physical energy and mental bandwidth on food.
