BACKHealth Coach Answers part 3 of the mindfulness series. “How can I practice mindfulness?” Another highly talked about tool is MINDFUL EATING! I’m sure you have all head us coaches talk about this frequently. In essence, mindful eating means being fully attentive to your food — as you buy, prepare, serve, and consume it. It is all about recognizing your hunger cues and determining what those cravings mean when those moments arrive. Ultimately, the goal of mindful eating is to base meals on physical cues like hunger signals, not emotional cues like stress or comfort. To distinguish between physical and emotional hunger, ask yourself these questions: Why do I eat? When do I eat? What do I eat? How do I eat? How much do I eat? Where do I eat? If you want to start eating mindfully, my number one tip is: slow down and start early. Consider how you feel first thing in the morning—are you extremely hungry or maybe just thirsty? As you get used to those sensations, move to the next time you crave something, and try eating slower and recognize all 5 senses when eating a food. Be sure to ask your coach about our mindful eating exercise!!!
