Anxiety/stress 4. When I am pressured or working under a deadline I have the urge to snack. 5. I eat more when I am stressed than when I am calm. 6. If I am worried or afraid of something I tend to eat. Anger 7. Sometimes when people irritate me I want to get something to eat. 8. I have had something to eat “just to teach him/her a lesson”. 9. When I get angry, eating will make me feel better. Boredom 10. I look forward to eating something when I’m bored. 11. I eat more than usual when there is nothing to do. 12.

Slide 8-

Emotional Eating: How to Overcome it? Premise: Emotional eaters have lost their innate ability to self‐regulate their hunger and satiation. Important Step - relearn to accurately listen to and trust your bodies’ signals. Instead of trying to suppress or avoid negative emotions, staying in-tune and learn to tolerate and accept your emotions rather than turning to food to escape.

Mindful Eating
Slide 10-

Reflect for a Moment What did you eat in your last meal? Were you present with your food or distracted by other things? Did you eat because of the time on the clock or were you actually hungry?
Slide 11-

Mindful Eating Mindful eating involves making conscious food choices - awareness of present moment when making food choices - paying close attention to the effect of the food on the senses3 Developing an awareness of physical v. psychological hunger and satiety cues1 Eating healthfully in response to those cues2 Observing physical and emotional sensations, including our thoughts, in a non-judgemental way in response to eating4 1Dalen et al., 2010; 2Miller et al., 2014; 3Hendrickson et al., 2013; 4Kristeller et al., 2014
Slide 12-

Mindful Eating Mindful eating is based on the notion that our relationship to food can be improved by using all of your senses to: i) Choose satisfying and nourishing ii) Recognizing our responses to food (likes, dislikes or neutral) without judgment iii) Being aware of physical hunger and fullness signals to help us decide when to begin and end eating.
Slide 13-

Mindful Eating “Mindful eating includes all of our choices, from the time we first feel like eating, through to completing our meal or snack, and afterwards as well.” Source: S. Pisk, 2017 www.eatingforyou.com.au
Slide 14-

Why Practice Mindful Eating? Mindfulness & mindful eating interventions appear to be most successful in reducing: binge eating regardless of weight status. emotional eating & eating in response to external cues - important behaviours related to obesity In overweight individuals impact on reducing weight mixed; may play role in prevention of weight gain. Positive shift in food habits, quantity of food consumed in some studies. Warren et al., 2017
Slide 15-

Why Practice Mindful Eating? We repeatedly eat meal after meal, snack after snack, hardly aware of what and how much we’re eating. Think about how frequently this happens to you…. You start eating, get distracted by your tablet, work, a book or TV, and before you know it your food is gone and you hardly remember eating it?
Slide 16-

Mindful Eating Practices/Tips SLOW DOWN Eating too fast does not allow our body to have time to recognize the signals telling us we are full and have had enough to eat 20 minutes for food to reach the first part of the small intestine which then results in chemical signals to the brain to tell the body, " Stop eating, I am full!"
Slide 17-

BASICS of Mindful Eating (Dr. Rossy) B – Breathe and Belly Check for hunger and satiety before you eat. Take a few deep breaths as you begin to check in with your belly. Ask yourself: - Are these sensations of physical hunger? - How hungry are you? - What are you hungry for? Is there a particular type of food you’d like to have? You might want food or you might be thirsty. Listen to what your body is telling you. www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/mindfuleating/basics-of-mindful-eating/ www.thecenterformindfuleating.org/
Slide 18-

The Hunger-Satiety Scale When It’s Time to Start Eating Best to eat when you reach a 3-4, try not to get to a 1-2. If you get too hungry, more likely to overeat & make poor choices. Always keep healthy snacks available, especially when on the go Source: https://uhs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/wellness-hungersatietyscale.pdf
Slide 19-

The Hunger-Satiety Scale When It’s Time to Stop Eating Best to stop eating when you reach a 6. Within 15-20 minutes, you will likely be at a 7, full but not uncomfortable. To reduce the temptation of overeating, serve dishes on the counter rather than table ask for a to-go box at restaurants with large portions keep checking in on where you are on the hunger scale before going for seconds or grabbing a snack.

Slide 20-

Eating When Not Hungry? Ask yourself Why? Seeking comfort for negative emotions? Find healthier alternatives to learn to better manage negative emotions. activities bring you pleasure/a sense of enjoyment or accomplishment? (simple pleasures can go along way) (e.g. go for a walk, listen to music/podcast, call a friend etc..) Abramson, 2006
Slide 21-

BASICS of Mindful Eating A - Assess your Food - What does it look like? Does it look appealing? - Where does it come from? Is it a food you can recognize or is it a food-like substance (e.g. highly processed)? Briefly be aware of the sun, rain & all other processes by which this food arrived in front of you today. - Is this the food you really want? A brief pause to assess your food can give you lots of information about it. www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/mindfuleating/basics-of-mindful-eating/
Slide 22-

BASICS of Mindful Eating S - Slow Down Helps you enjoy your food more fully and become aware of when you’re getting full. Simple strategies to help you slow down putting down your fork or spoon between bites pausing and taking a breath between bites chewing your food completely Remind yourself, and your family, that eating is not a race www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/mindfuleating/basics-of-mindful-eating/
Slide 23-

BASICS of Mindful Eating I - Investigate your hunger throughout the meal Be aware distractions, bring your attention back to eating, tasting, & assessing your hunger and satiety throughout the meal. You may find you’re no longer hungry even though there’s food on your plate or that you don’t even like what you’re eating . Allow yourself to stop or to continue based on your assessment. www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/mindfuleating/basics-of-mindful-eating/
Slide 24-

BASICS of Mindful Eating I - Investigate your hunger throughout the meal When assessing your hunger throughout your meal ask yourself: - “Has my body had enough?” - “Am I eating just because there’s more food?” “Can I stop before I get full?” The feelings of hunger and satiety may be hard to determine at first. Don’t give-up. Keep checking, gradually you will learn more about your body, what it needs and wants. www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/mindfuleating/basics-of-mindful-eating/
Slide 25-

BASICS of Mindful Eating C – Chew Your Food Thoroughly Helps you to slow down & your body to digest the nutrients from your food more efficiently. Allows you to really taste your food and be tuned into the signals that you are getting satisfied. The sooner you are aware of satiety, the less likely it will be that you will over-eat. www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/mindfuleating/basics-of-mindful-eating/
Slide 26-

BASICS of Mindful Eating S – Savor Your Food Involves taking time to choose food you really like and food that would satisfy you right now. Become fully present for the experience of eating and the pleasure that it can bring. Allow your attention be on the complete range of sensations available in each bite and feel the pleasure. If your not enjoying it, why eat it? www.umsystem.edu/newscentral/mindfuleating/basics-of-mindful-eating/
Slide 27-

Mindful Eating Practices How does the food look? Shape /Colour/ Shade How does it smell? What sort of aromas can you pick up? How does it feel? In your hand /Through your knife & fork / In your mouth – is it hard, soft, rough, smooth, crunchy, melting? How does it taste? Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, tangy? How does it sound? This might feel a little strange at first but will help you to really appreciate the entire eating experience. How does it feel in your body?

Slide 29-

Mindful Eating Takes Practice These are guidelines not inflexible rules helps you become more aware about how, what, when and why you eat. Follow them as best you can, as often as possible.
