Steps To Mindful Eating
• Ask yourself why you are eating. Are really hungry? Are You
bored or stressed? Try waiting 20 minutes to eat.
• Create a soothing environment. Set the table with flowers,
put calm music on, dim the lights etc.
• Quit eating in front of the TV. It can cause you to eat 10%
more in calories at mealtime and 25% more at other times in
the day.
• Water all natural and does the body good. Take small sips
between bites of food.

this particular food. Take time to first notice the color and
texture of the food. Then smell it. Next, take a small bite
and feel the food with your tongue. Finally, chew it slowly
and swallow it.
• Put down your fork and take another small mindful bite
of food. Repeat through meal.
• Slow yourself down by eating with chopsticks, your non-
dominant hand, or by cutting your food into smaller bites
