Ever look down at an empty plate with little recollection of actually eating the food? It feels terrible! But with practice, we can learn to enjoy our meals more through mindful eating.

When we eat mindfully, the same love of food that can lead to overeating becomes the key to eating less because we experience greater enjoyment and satiation. Eating becomes more than a habit or compulsion; we transform it into a form of nourishment and sustenance for body and soul.

Let me know about your experiments with mindful eating. Share in the forum or drop me an email. I always welcome your comments and suggestions.
