Tips for Mindful Eating

 

11. Make it a meal.


Eating from a bag or box makes it difficult to track serving sizes. Regardless of what you eat, grab a plate or bowl and sit down. Measure out portions of crackers, dips, cheeses, nuts, and seeds. Not only does this give you time to consider your food choices, but it will also keep you from going overboard on servings.

12. Take one bite.

Make an effort to take one bite of food at a time. Chew it slowly and swallow before picking up the fork and knife for the next. The taste, textures, and flavors will come to life — increasing how much you enjoy the meal.
