Almost all of us have busy, over-scheduled, rushed lives. We're pushed to live faster and faster.

And we want to lose weight immediately! Six-pack abs in six weeks! Or six days!

Our bodies struggle to keep up the pace.

You can feel it when you're living — and eating — too quickly.

Rapid results don't last. Everything worthwhile takes time and patience.

(Think: Parenting, relationships, getting a degree, mastering a skill, building a career, etc.)

HERE ARE THE GOALS

Eat slowly. Savor your food. Use your "make time" habit to add 5 minutes to each meal.

Stick to the program. Be consistent, patient, and persistent. Keep showing up.

Day after day. One step at a time.
