Mindful Attention Practice: Awareness Of Eating

Mindful eating (i.e., paying attention to our food, on purpose, moment by moment, without judgment) is an approach to food that focuses on individuals’ sensual awareness of the food and their experience of the food. It has little to do with calories, carbohydrates, fat, or protein. The purpose of mindful eating is to help individuals savor the moment and the food and encourage their full presence in the eating experience. This naturally leads to healthier eating long-term.
