Eating while working, reading, watching television - this way of eating contributes to the risk of being overweight. What if we were to become fully aware of what we are eating? Mindfulness means concentrating on the present moment, on sensations and thoughts. Mindful eating means paying full attention to the food you buy, prepare, serve and eat. So that food becomes a pleasure once again, rather than just a vital reflex. Come to the table with an appetite, but not when you're hungry. Enjoy the food.  Take small bites.  This way of eating will allow the brain to catch up with the body. Being aware of the signals your body sends will help you limit your food intake.
