How to Change Eating Habits with Mindful Eating

Thanks to Noom for sponsoring a portion of this video!

How can mindfulness and mindful eating change your relationship with food? Whether you’re working on building a healthy relationship with food or changing eating habits for the better, learning how to eat mindfully can be transformative.

Not just eating mindfully, but also learning how to be more mindful in general has completely changed my life—and my eating habits. Mindfulness meditation has been a big part of my personal journey, but there are also SO many other ways to practice mindfulness in everyday life, including at mealtimes.

So what is mindfulness and what does mindful eating even mean? I’m sharing 3 simple strategies for how to be mindful in everyday life and how to eat mindfully, including a mindful eating exercise known as the raisin meditation that you can try with me!

If you want to know how to change eating habits or how to change your relationship with food, I truly believe practicing mindfulness is one of the best places to start. Thanks so much to NOOM for making this mindful eating video possible!

Have you tried mindful eating? What did you notice?

[kathyjohnson]

I’m actually a Noom member and I love it!! I started it because I wanted to change my relationship with food and get off the yo-yo diets that can happen. I wanted to learn good habits and make it sustainable. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a life change!!

"We can't make any changes if we don't have awareness" very good point!

I really appreciate this video as a mental health therapist. The exercises you discussed can be very helpful for people with eating disorders and/or anxiety.

If I found time to sit down and eat a meal with no distraction I would chuck it and take a nap. My life moves at me a hundred miles an hour. Luckily I can always turn it off and have a good night sleep. When I think of mindfulness I think of mindless lol. This is great information I appreciate you taking the time to share. Thank you.

This video is so so good !
I have a very unhealthy relationship with food due to my yo yo diets and emotional eating. I eat when I get super anxious . I have been trying to more mindful as I don't want my kids to be like me. We try not to use gadgets at meals. But yes I did but of distraction feeding for my toddler to make him eat more.
I really love your channel. Thanks for this video.

I try to listen to my body more when I’m feeling full. Usually at a restaurant or if someone has cooked for me I tend to want to finish the food to the point where I feel bloated or have a belly ache after. I stop when I feel full and I can always take a bag to go! Basically two meals for one!

Alyssia this was such an interesting video & really timely for me! I was thinking about the idea of mindful eating recently during breakfast while scrolling thru my phone, a newer habit I re-developed when I started a new job. I'm definitely going to have to get back into the practice of eating more mindfully. Also your hair looks amazing in this video!

Interesting weight loss plan: take 5 minutes for each bite of your food lol

Great video, I would definitely watch more mindfulness content. The "should" alarm is very good advice that is also offered for grief counseling in that judging your emotions makes you more mired in them. Stands to reason it would be similar with food relationships. Brb gonna go eat a raisin 😁

[danipereira]

Love this type of content! Please make more (:
