Are you most often a mindful or a mindless eater? Mindless eating often involves eating whatever is easiest, quickest or readily available. It’s often done while multi-tasking (watching TV, driving, working) and can be based on external cues such as satisfying urges and cravings, or for comfort, rather than actual hunger. Mindful eaters, however, make conscious food choices, savor indulgences, are tuned into and honour their hunger and fullness cues, and eat for both nourishment and pleasure. Mindful eaters tend to enjoy better health, experience more satisfaction and control around food, and are able to maintain a healthy weight.
