Giving attention to what you eat/ drink helps you to avoid indulging in food that is poor in nutrition or is high in unhealthy elements. Some of the practices involved in mindful eating are, eating only until you are full, knowing your non-hunger triggers and eating only when hungry, appreciating your food, eating for your health and wellness, and eating slowly.
Mindful eating helps you overcome binge eating and emotional eating habits. When you eat mindlessly, you may eat food that isn’t good for your health or you may overeat at times, which can cause digestive troubles. Following a diet alone, can not help you achieve your health goals. Instead, give your attention to your food by not using your phone/screen when you eat and do not be influenced by emotions or external factors in choosing what to eat.
There is no perfect way of eating food, but there are certainly the right ways that help us take care of our health and avoid health problems that arise due to wrong eating practices. Observe your eating pattern and make the right changes toward mindful eating. This will help you have control over what and how you eat and avoid what is harmful to your health, rather than being worried about diets to follow.
Waiting until you are extremely hungry results in eating quickly and in overeating which is not a healthy eating habit and causes digestive discomfort. Stick to your meal time and plan your meals ahead. Make sure to choose nutritious food that nourishes your body and gives you energy. These positive eating behaviors contribute positively to your health and keep you from unhealthy eating habits.

Nice post Rancy
Organizing and planning the meals the day before, is a great way to withhold the craving for unhealthy foods.
Thank you Nausheen!
That’s true. Planning and organizing helps us avoid unhealthy practices.
Mindful eating helps me to watch my calories. I try to eat homemade food and will make sure to eat my breakfast. As breakfast is the important meal of the day😊👍
You’re right, mindful eating is very much helpful in reducing calories.
Eating homemade food and not skipping breakfast are healthy habits indeed.
Thank you for sharing such useful information about your routine.
You are welcome Rancy and it’s my pleasure 😊👍
I know I need to do a better job of mindful eating sometimes. I like to do some of my meal prep in advance so that way, if I do get hungry, I have something healthy on hand.
Thank you for sharing your idea of mindful eating.
