•  MINDFUL EATING TECHNIQUES  •

Appreciate your food.

Pay attention to the effects particular foods have on your feelings and body.

Engage as many of your senses as possible by noticing colors, sounds, textures, smells, and tastes.

Eat with the intention of maintaining or improving your overall health.

STAY HYDRATED

It’s not uncommon for thirst to be confused with hunger or food cravings. You don’t have to run five miles and stand dripping in sweat for your body to be thirsty and in need of water. We lose water throughout the day in ways other than sweating. These imperceptible water losses make us thirsty, but we might perceive this thirst as hunger or a craving for a specific food. Water is extremely important, because it does everything from improving digestion and elimination to fueling our cells and helping us feel energized. Studies have shown that drinking enough water before a meal can help you feel full faster, which can reduce appetite and help with weight loss. The next time you have a craving, try drinking 8 to 12 ounces of water and see if the craving diminishes or goes away.
