Mindful Eating

What is mindful eating? “Mindful eating is an approach to food that focuses on individuals’ sensual awareness of the food and their experience with the food.”

What does that mean? Through this approach we want to help individuals savor their food while also being mentally present during the act of eating.

What are the benefits and how is this different from a diet? Success in both require a behavior change Diet -Outcome driven -Rules for eating Mindfulness -Process-oriented -Individual experience

Some tips to try…

THERE ARE NO RULES OR GUIDELINES FOR THIS PROCESS THERE ARE NO RULES OR GUIDELINES FOR THIS PROCESS. IT IS ALL ABOUT INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE. EVERYONE WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE AND THAT IS OKAY!

How does it work? Let try it!

Lets imagine you have just been dropped on a foreign planet and you have no recollection of anything. You don’t remember anything about you past lifE,Not even food you have eaten.EVERYTHING IS NEW.

GRAB A RAiSIN>>>

STOP!!!! -Don’t just fill your mouth with a handful of raisins. -Take a deep breath and relax. -Clear your mind of any judgments, fears or expectations...

Experience the raisin... LOOK AT IT AS IF IT WERE YOUR FIRST TIME SEEING A RASIN. Look at it… Pick it up… Can you feel it’s weight in your hand? Examine it: It’s ridges Shiny parts Dull parts

SMELL THE RAISIN...

Observe yourself How do you naturally react? Are pleased with the smell? Do you pull the raisin away from your nose? Observe yourself

Touch the raisin... Roll it between your fingers… Does it make a sound? Is it sticky? How does it feel?

Place the raisin on your lips... Hold it there for a few seconds… What do you notice going on inside your body? Are your hands getting sweaty?

Taste it... Is there a taste? Do you salivate? Don’t chew it. How do you want to react? How do you react? Don’t chew it. Just roll it around in your mouth

Bite down just once... Slowly begin to chew… Notice what you feel after each bite. Chew it until the raisin is completely liquefied. Then swallow. Now take a second to think about the consequence of your experience. How do you feel?

“Eating mindfully is about bringing full awareness to each plate or bite of food.”

Make this an intentional, regular practice Think first! Be mindful of your actions. Are you eating because of your emotions? Are you really hungry? Or, are you stressed, bored, angry, sad or lonely? Trust yourself. Live and appreciate life as it is.
