Remember, “YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT” and “NO DIET IS PERFECT EVER”
Though nutrition advice in the media can be confusing at times, we are not lacking in science-based information on what to eat to maintain our health. Also, early life nutrition may be the key to successful eating habits later in life. Eating while doing something else increases the chances of a person gaining excess weight, but regardless of how much we weigh, this distracted or mindless eating is an unhealthy habit.
Hence, practising “mindful eating” can help transition from a “good vs. bad” relationship with food to an “all foods fit” mentality.
Eating mindfully is not about perfection, but rather building a healthy relationship with all foods. When you are watchful, you notice how your stomach expands and feels fuller while you are eating. You experience each bite from start to finish. You slow down every aspect of the eating process to feel connected to it. Eating mindfully isn’t just helpful for limiting your food intake. This practice is meant to complement your personal, healthy eating style.
Aim to meet your daily goals for fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole and enriched grains and dairy, while enjoying each bite more mindfully.

Mindful eating is being conscious and completely aware of what you are eating and drinking. It involves using all your senses – smell, taste, sight, feel, and hear to experience your food fully. It is the practice of eating without distractions and of acknowledging reactions to food without guilt or criticism.
The first step in mindful eating is to pay attention to the food in front of you. Look at the food, smell it, touch it, taste it, and pay attention to the sound it creates. If you like or don’t like the food, acknowledge the reaction without any judgment. Avoid distractions and be conscious of what you eat and drink.
Mindful eating helps avoid or reduce emotional and binge eating. It improves your relationship with food, which in turn supports better food choices, improved digestion, and a better understanding of hunger cues. Eating slowly, savouring and enjoying the food, enhances your overall eating experience.
To practice mindfulness, start by paying full attention to your surroundings. Use your sense of smell, touch, sight, and sound to experience your surroundings without judgment. Mindful eating, relaxed walking, meditation, deep breathing, and focusing on a single task can help improve mindfulness.
