What is mindful eating?
Mindful eating is a term that describes the action of consciously choosing the food we want to consume. To do this, we need to learn to distinguish hunger and cravings, to identify the signs of satiety - that is, when we are full- and the differences between physical and psychological hunger. Being aware of the present -the moment we eat or want to eat - and paying attention to the effect of food and our sensations when we eat are characteristics of mindful eating.
