Question

Eating disorders often include a lot of attention to what is consumed. Explain why this is not mindful eating.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mindful eating is about using mindfulness to reach a state of full attention to your experiences, cravings, and physical cues when eating. Fundamentally, mindful eating involves: eating slowly and without distraction, listening to physical hunger cues and eating only until you’re full, distinguishing between true hunger and non-hunger triggers for eating

engaging your senses by noticing colors, smells, sounds, textures, and flavors, learning to cope with guilt and anxiety about food, eating to maintain overall health and well-being, noticing the effects food has on your feelings and figure and appreciating your food. This can be hard to do when you are so attentive to what you are consuming.
