Limit distractions at mealtimes, turn off the tv, put down your phone, try and be present with your meal.
Engage your senses by noticing colours, smells, textures and flavours
Think about the journey of the food to get to your plate, from the farmers to the transporters to the supermarket workers. It can be good to feel gratitude for all the people in these stages that have contributed to you enjoying this meal.
Eat slowly, chew thoroughly- remember the importance of the 20+ rule.
Focus on how you feel, stopping eating as you feel satisfied/ full.
*remember mindful eating takes practise, it’s normal to feel a bit of resistance to it to start with - just keep going and things will get easier in time
