Mindful eating means paying full attention to your food and to your body’s hunger and fullness signals. It is not a diet, but it can help you notice habits such as eating out of boredom or finishing a plate when you are already full.
- Pause before eating: ask yourself whether you are physically hungry.
- Remove distractions: eat at a table rather than in front of a screen.
- Slow down: put your fork down between bites and chew thoroughly.
- Check in halfway: notice how full you feel before deciding on more.
- Enjoy your food: pay attention to its taste, smell and texture.
If you often feel out of control around food, or eating feels tied to strong emotions, a doctor, dietitian or therapist can offer support.
