The Habits of Mindful Eating
()
About this ebook
Have you ever continued to eat even when you were full? Did you ever eat when you weren’t hungry? If so, you have experienced mindless eating first-hand. This practise can contribute to weight loss obsessions and obesity as well as anorexia. Mindless eating also has serious physical, emotional and economic consequences. We need something to overcome these issues. I believe mindful eating can be one such tool to manage these weight loss and obesity epidemics.
Eating more consciously means eating just enough food to feel satisfied—without eating too much or too little. This seems easy enough to comprehend. But it isn’t easy to practise because if it was, we’d all be eating more consciously. Part of the reason we have a hard time eating mindfully is that we are always in a hurry and feel distracted. We usually have our evening meal on the go without building in time to rest, relax, eat slowly and connect with loved ones.
Mindful eating is also about learning to eat things you love in a sensible way. It is not about avoiding these foods altogether. It is about breaking old, mindless habits and gauging your appetite to eat only when you are hungry and stop eating when you’re satiated.
This is far from easy. It requires that you develop new habits and a different and more mindful relationship to food. In this e-book, I offered you some tools to help develop this kind of wholesome and mindful relationship with food. By applying the habits outlined in this e-book, you will learn how to eat more mindfully every day.

About the Author
Introduction
Eating is one of the most enjoyable things we can do to give our life meaning. It ranks up there with sex, love, and connection. A good meal can be a grace-filled time. It can also be a time we look forward to with friends and family. Yet, many of us eat mindlessly. We say we love to eat but we don’t put our whole heart and soul into eating. We simply shovel the food into our mouths and swallow it without tasting it.
