Mindful Eating as a way to stop Bingeing

 
Had a Mindful eating demo. today - one raison, carefully felt, smelt, seen and then feeling the juices in the mouth, rolling it around before carefully slowly placing teeth on it, and the chewing it thoughtfully - very pleasant and satisfying!

Feb 7, 2012 - A concept based on Buddhist teachings encourages people to eat slowly, paying close attention to the sensation and purpose of each morsel.

Make eating part of the 'precious moment" that the Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo writes about below.

    Bonnie Scrudato Yes! We will be doing this soon at The World Peace Diet book study.
    Ron Alexander Excellent Bonnie Scrudato, that is a "grain" of rice, not a "morsel". Since then I have found mixed nuts to be a great mindfulness eating exercise. Oh, there is a peanut, hmm, what does it feel like, smell like, ...and then a walnut...and then a cashew, a pecan, a hazel nut...what are the differences in feeling, smell, taste...etc. I used to down a bowl of mixed nut in a minute. Now it takes me 20 to 30 minutes and I am still not through and then I can't eat anymore so I put the rest back! It takes the body 30 to 45 minutes to find out if we are full or not or NUT's I have eaten to much! Please feel free to share in your World Peace Diet book study group!
