Mindful eating is an approach to food where you are fully present when experiencing and making decisions about food.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nowadays, we are all so distracted when eating. We mindlessly overeat and often use food for reasons other than actual hunger (i.e., cope with unpleasant emotions, fill a void, deal with stress, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n

Mindful eating is not a diet. It is not about restricting yourself or calorie counting. It\u2019s staying present and paying attention to what your body tells you it needs and feels. <\/p>\n\n\n

Mindful eating is the act of being present while eating and paying attention to all experiences with eating and food – cravings, hunger, taste, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s eating with purpose and acknowledging how your body feels while you eat. <\/p>\n\n\n

You\u2019re acknowledging and accepting without pressing judgment on what your body needs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Unlike a diet, which focuses on the rules of eating, mindful eating is about being present and listening to your body. <\/p>\n\n\n
