Mindfulness in practice

Mindful eating:

• Remember the mindful eating cycle : WHY, WHEN, WHAT, HOW, HOW MUCH, and WHERE

• Being in tune with your body's needs and hunger signals : "rate your hunger" !

• Take time to enjoy the eating experience

• Make pleasurable food choices !

• Eat just “How much food is needed to ease your current level of hunger“

“Eating mindfully offers you a chance to pause and gain

perspective before you eat”
