Breathing for Weight Loss In 8 Easy Steps

Breathing for weight loss is so effective because mindfulness is necessary to lose weight. The more attention you pay to your body, breath, thoughts, emotions, feelings, memories, images, etc. the easier it is to gain mastery over your actions.

With that in mind, here’s a breathing experiment to try out. Whenever you have a desire to eat something that you know you don’t need to eat, stop and do the following:

1. Check how many times you are breathing in one minute
2. Check the intensity level of your craving (SUD level) from 1-10
3. Take 2-3 minutes to slow down your breathing, always staying within your comfortable capacity so you don’t strain
4. Recheck to see how many times a minute you are breathing
5. Recheck your SUD level for the craving
6. See if you can more easily manage to pass on eating whatever it is you were going to eat, now that you are breathing more slowly
7. Keep a log and see whether or not slower breathing allows you to control food cravings.
