FILL YOUR MIND BEFORE YOU FILL YOUR PLATE Mindful Eating and Mindset
Ever found yourself working with a bag of crisps or chocolate on your desk, and when you next look down, they had suddenly disappeared?. Being so focused on whichever task was at hand, you’ve eaten whatever it was without even noticing or even tasting it! That’s mindLESS eating and I’d be lying if I said I’d never been in that situation, but it’s not a great feeling when you realise your food is gone and you’ve eaten without even thinking about it, let alone enjoying it. Adopting mindful eating practices can help you to lead a more consistent, healthy lifestyle. tice

Mindful eating is about being truly aware of the foods you put into your body, and how you eat them and experience them. It’s about understanding the benefits of eating healthy foods and really using all your senses to truly enjoy nourishing food. It’s also how to understand your hunger and fullness levels.
