According to HBO's "The Weight of a Nation" mindful eating can help you manage weight because it helps you know the difference of when you are eating because you are hungry vs eating because you are stressed or bored. Instead of restricting yourself by dieting, mindful eating simply helps you be aware of how you are eating and what you are eating so you don't over-do it.
So next time you eat, wait a few seconds (or even minutes) before eating your food. Notice the smell and texture of your food. Then eat a little at a time while chewing slowly. Try to name the flavors which your taste buds embrace.
