Day 7: Learn How to Eat Mindfully

[Greeting]

You are now a week in! Let’s see what’s going on in day 7 of the Weight Loss Lifestyle 
Challenge. 

Today, you are going to learn about mindful eating, and how it can be helpful when you 
are on a journey to create a healthy lifestyle. 


What is Mindful Eating?

Mindful eating is simple a way to be more aware of your emotions and feelings, both 
physical and emotional, while you are eating. Mindfulness itself is about being present 
in the moment and really understanding what you are experiencing, so eating in this 
way is much the same way. 


Why is it Recommended?

The reason we recommend adding it to your healthy lifestyle is because it can send you 
a lot of signals about eating that help you understand what foods you do or don’t enjoy, 
which you are eating for emotional reasons or because you are truly hungry, and when 
you have reached satisfaction and fullness.

It is very easy to do, where you just turn off all distractions during your meal so you can 
focus on the food and how your body feels while you are eating it.


Tip – Start with just one meal a day where you eat without distractions, and become 
more aware of the eating experience.
