Steps for mindful eating:

  1. Identify the type of hunger you’re experiencing. Ask yourself, “Why do I want to eat now? Is it meal time? Am I bored, angry, sad, anxious, socializing, craving, or feeling deprived?”
  2. Locate where you feel hunger in your body (e.g., tummy, heart, mind, mouth).
  3. If your hunger score is “high”, it is preferred to eat (fruits, dates, or a cup of yogurt or milk) before your regular meal, in order to decrease the score back to “normal”. This is to avoid (fast eating).
  4. Choose a small plate and include colorful vegetables to increase the nutrients in your meal.
  5. Pause midway through the meal and assess your level of fullness: Are you comfortably full, uncomfortably full, or still hungry?
  6. Soups are very helpful in cold weather (consider adding vegetables, oats, lentils, etc.).
  7. Try to use all five of your senses while eating.
  8. It is recommended, though optional, to set your meal and snack times, as well as the types of food you plan to eat (like a menu).
  9. The recommended duration for a meal is around 15 minutes.
