Mindful Eating in 3 weeks - Week #2

Mindful Eating Involves:
  1. Recognizing and allowing yourself to become aware of the positive and nurturing opportunities that can be made through food preparing and eating. Learning to respect your own inner intuitions and wisdom
  2. Making food choices that are both pleasing and nourishing. Allowing your senses to connect with these food choices, savoring, tasting and enjoying the selection.
  3. Acknowledge how you feel about food, your responses to the food, liking it, disliking it, not having an opinion on it.
  4. LEARNING TO BE AWARE OF PHYSICAL HUNGER AND SATIETY CUES to help guide you in your decision to eat, not to eat or to stop eating.
Mindful eating is INTUITIVE EATING as we all once had the ability, as infants, to allow our bodies to guide or appetites and food selections. Give this some thought and I will add some more food for thought next week.
