My grandpa’s behavior was similar to mindful eating, a practice that focuses on enjoying your meal and listening to your body’s hunger and fullness cues. “You’re paying attention to what you’re doing, and your thoughts and feelings around what you’re eating.” The end benefit is a more conscious, pleasurable approach to eating, said Hudnall, who also helps run a weight loss program in Vermont that uses mindful eating principles. How to practice mindful eating I wanted to give the technique a try over the holidays, starting with Thanksgiving. “Mindful eating really has you enjoy the flavor, the texture and the different aspects of food we find pleasing,” she explained. Mindful eating encourages you to drink the eggnog or have the holiday cookie without punishing yourself.
