Dr. Tina Boogren shares a simple but powerful strategy: take a mealtime intermission. Pause halfway through your meal for at least one minute to slow down, notice how your body feels, and decide if you’re truly hungry before continuing.

This mindful pause not only helps you avoid overeating but also allows you to reconnect with your body in the middle of a busy day. Try it once this week at lunch or dinner and see how it changes your experience.
