5. Now slowly place a morsel of food into your mouth. Be mindful of the taste, smell and texture of the food as you chew. Put your cutlery down as you chew. Don’t eat the next mouthful until you’ve fully chewed this one. At what point do you swallow? Have you chewed the food fully?

6. When you’re ready, take the next mouthful in the same way. As you continue to eat mindfully, be aware of your stomach and the feeling of being full. As soon as you feel you’ve had enough to eat, stop. As you’ve been eating slowly, you may find that you feel full up sooner than usual.

7. If you feel full, but still have the desire to eat more, try doing another three minutes of mindful breathing. Remember that the thought ‘I need to eat’ is just a thought. You don’t have to obey the thought and eat if that’s not the best thing for you.

Try eating in this way once a day for a week or two and become mindful of the effect it has.
