Ask yourself, “How mindfully do I eat?”
We know that there are a million diets out there, but I’d like to bring it back to the basics with mindful eating.
Mindful eating stresses the importance of focusing on the present moment and being aware of your senses while consuming food. It can help you manage your eating habits and feel better about your body.

The point isn’t to change what you’re eating — it’s to change how you’re eating. You won’t have to do any special shopping.
There are 2 parts to today's question:
Part 1: Ask yourself if you are truly hungry before you eat.
Pause for a moment and consider the answer to this question. If you’re truly hungry, eat! Your goal isn’t to eat less, but rather to quit eating when you aren’t hungry.
Focus on using food for its intended purpose — nourishment.
If you’re not actually hungry, consider getting a glass of water or a cup of tea and putting off your meal for a bit — you might just be thirsty. Alternatively, it may help to do something to distract yourself for a few minutes, such as taking a short walk or doing a brain teaser.

Part 2: Pick one of your meals and eat like you normally would. After you’re finished, answer these questions:
1. How long did it take you to finish your meal?
2. Were you multitasking (e.g., watching TV, scrolling through your phone, or finishing up a work project)?
3. Are you satisfied with your meal? How do you know when your meals are satisfying?
