5 Tips to Eat more Mindfully and Improve Your Mindset & Relationship With Food

One of my main personal goals this year has been to work on mindful eating. Mindful eating means paying attention in the moment, to the entire process of eating (from preparation to consumption) without judgement. 

Benefits: improved psychological well-being, better relationship with food, and increased body satisfaction 
Here are the 5 tips:

1. Only eat when you're hungry
- This requires listening to your body and honoring its hunger cues (e.g., a growling stomach, low energy, craving nutrient-dense foods)

2.Create a calm eating environment 
- Never eat standing up or in the fridge/pantry, set a proper place setting and avoid distractions like TV, phone, etc.

3. Slow Down!
- Chew each bite to the consistency of applesauce. Set down your fork between bites. Pay attention to the temperature, texture, & taste of each bite!

4. Stop when you're full
- Check in with your body during the meal to assess satisfaction cues. 

5. Change your mindset
- Avoid labeling foods as "good" or "bad" and never designate foods as "off-limits". Instead, approach food selection with curiosity and nourishing mindset.
