Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally.

What is Mindful Eating

During a mindful eating experience, one would expect to:

Slow down and breathe.
Investigate your hunger and satiety cues.
Savor your food.
Non-judgementally observe your experience before, during and after eating by using all your senses.
There is no right or wrong way to eat. Each experience is uniquely yours.
Through paying attention to what and how we eat, we become open to our own body’s needs and make choices that best support our total wellness.

Is not a diet! A diet can feel restrictive.
Mindful eating opens the mind to see opportunity and choice.
Does not focus on weight.
Appropriate for everyone, including those that have diabetes, heart disease or other medical conditions.
Learn to listen to your body vs just eating to eat.
Helps you to become aware of your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations around eating.
Mindful eating can:
- Decrease binge eating
- Decrease emotional eating
- Improve body acceptance
- Free ourselves from shame and self judgement
- Enhance our pleasure at meal time
- Help bring awareness to what we eat and how it is interconnected to the world
Is empowering!
