Mindful eating is a practice centred on paying closer attention to the experience of eating тАФ the taste, texture, and pace of a meal тАФ rather than eating on autopilot. Here are some of the habits commonly associated with it.
Slowing Down
Eating more slowly, and chewing food thoroughly, is one of the most commonly cited mindful eating habits, giving more attention to each bite rather than rushing through a meal.
Reducing Distractions
Eating without a screen or other distraction is another common practice, aimed at keeping attention on the meal itself rather than splitting focus.
Noticing Hunger and Fullness Cues
Paying attention to physical hunger and fullness signals, rather than eating purely by the clock or by portion size alone, is a core idea behind the practice.
Where It Comes From
Mindful eating draws on broader mindfulness practices, which have roots in contemplative traditions and have also been studied and adapted in secular, everyday contexts.
