About this ebook
Unconscious overeating is a concept that is all too familiar to the majority of the population. When we're seated in front of the television, working on a computer project, or driving, the act of scrolling through our phones or watching television is what we do. You manage to consume an entire bag of chips or a large number of cookies without even noticing that you're doing it or even realizing that you're chewing and swallowing food. Research is revealing that when we focus solely on what we're eating without distraction, we have a healthier relationship with food, lose more weight, and have a greater chance of keeping the weight off for good.
Practicing mindful eating can help to reduce the hedonistic drive to eat [which is distinct from physical hunger], which is characterized by a loss of control, an obsession with food, and a lack of feeling satisfied, even after indulging in a substantial amount of food. When you pay attention to what you eat, it is likely that you will enjoy your meal more.
A common misconception about mindful eating is that it necessitates a 20-minute meditation session before each meal, or that it requires you to pause and express thanks for each mouthful of food you consume. However, these misconceptions are unfounded. It can be quite good to simply pay attention to what you're eating and how you feel while eating, rather than overcomplicating things.
Is It Possible to Lose Weight Through Mindful Eating?

In scientific research, it has been demonstrated that paying attention to what you eat may have an impact on how much and what type of food you consume. This book offers a resource list, which includes a nice guide to mindful eating, among other things. In this book, you will find expert tips and practices that will help you eat better and live a healthier life than you ever imagined possible.

Mindful Eating - Mar Ziq
INTRODUCTION
We are living in extraordinary circumstances. It is now more important than ever to place a priority on one's health. Stress can lead to poor eating habits, which can be harmful. It's no secret that many people turn to food when they're experiencing high levels of anxiety. In turn, this can lead to overeating and poor food selection.
––––––––
Food can be both a source of pleasure and a health-promoting agent at the same time.
––––––––
Although the concept of mindfulness has been around for thousands of years, it has only recently gained popularity in the Western world. What is mindfulness, and how does it benefit you? It's simply the deliberate focus of your attention on a specific task.
––––––––
If you're awake, it's because you're focused on something. Something on television, something outside your window, something in your head, your dog, the pain in your foot, the temperature of your room, or folding your laundry could be the source of your distraction.
––––––––
Without a doubt, you're focused on something. In order to meditate, you must focus your attention on something.
––––––––
Even though you're chatting with someone, you're not being mindful if your mind is elsewhere. Mindfulness is the ability to focus on the here and now. So, if you're having a conversation, you're paying attention to what's being discussed. You're also becoming more aware of the times when your focus strays.
––––––––
What is the relationship between mindfulness and eating? Everything.
