Ten Mindful Eating Tips | By Lu Young

1. You can make better food choices when you aren’t starving hungry. You may be more likely to stay out of the fast food lane or junk food aisle at the supermarket when your hunger is under control.

2. If you are the cook for the family trying using more creative words to describe a new recipe. Try these – macaroni and cheese or savory three cheese pasta. Which sounds more appetizing.

3. Try to improve the atmosphere of the dining experience. Try turning off the television or radio. Perhaps maybe you may learn to taste your food rather than gulping it and communicate better with your family.

Men's Health - Subscription See for yourself why Men’s Health is the largest men’s magazine in the world! We talk to the docs and study the medical journals for one simple reason: to give you the freshest, most authoritative information on health, nutrition, sex, muscle building and relationships available anywhere. We stay up on the stuff that’s important—so you don’t have to.

4. Trying adding more vegetables to recipes. This will increase the volume of food that you can eat without increasing categories.

5. Try making comfort foods much more comforting. Serve them family style instead of dishing foods onto the individual plates in the kitchen.

6. Try to clear up disagreements with other family members before you eat. People tend to eat more food when they are sad or angry than when they are happy.

7. Keep in mind the gender differences when making comfort foods. Men tend to prefer a main dish comfort food; whereas women prefer their comfort food as snacks that are quick to prepare and have little mess in cleanup.

8. Keep in mind birth order. Children with numerous siblings tend to eat their favorite food first; while only children eat their favorite foods last.

9. Encourage your family to make their favorite foods fruit and vegetables. These could decrease their weight.

10. Slow down! Try chewing, tasting, and savoring each and every bite. Play soothing music (classical). Think about each and every flavor in each bite.
