My breakfast- leftover leek and chard tart. The Slow Down Diet encourages starting your day with your most nutritious meal- a balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates- and rely less on breakfasts made of almost entirely carbs, such as oatmeal (good if you add seeds or nut/nut butters), cereals or bagels. The book encourages lunch to be like this as well, as long as, with both meals, you don't eat until you're so full you're tired. It's dinner where you don't need as much "dense" calories as you've already expended most of your calories for the day.
Again I ate quickly. Based on how full I feel now, probably if I ate more slowly I would be able to tell that I was full sooner and stop eating. The Slow Down Diet calls that "gut wisdom" but more on that another day.
