Mindful eating is about being fully present while eating, focusing on the experience, and tuning in to your body’s hunger and satiety signals.
– Emotional triggers like stress or boredom. – Distracted eating while on devices. – Portion sizes that are larger than necessary. – Eating too fast to notice fullness.
– Helps maintain a healthy weight. – Improves digestion and reduces bloating. – Enhances appreciation for flavors and textures. – Builds a better relationship with food.
– Take smaller bites and chew thoroughly. – Turn off screens and focus on your meal. – Serve smaller amounts and go for seconds only if still hungry. – Pause during meals and ask yourself if you're satisfied.

– Am I truly hungry? – Is this craving linked to emotions? Learn to substitute food with healthier coping mechanisms, like a walk or deep breathing.
– Savor Each Bite – Appreciate the effort behind the food on your plate. – Take a moment to breathe before starting your meal.
