How to help nutrition clients develop mindful eating practices:

This can take time, and not all of the above practices need to be met in order to be more mindful around meals and snacks. It could be focusing on one or two of the above techniques to work on improving the overall relationship you have with food and self.

How can mindful eating help the LOCE (Loss of Control Over Eating)?

Mindful eating can help with LOCE by reducing stress and tension around the eating experience. It allows for more awareness around food intake, being able to recognize potential triggers, facilitating emotional regulation, and allowing one to really savor the eating experience by focusing on the taste, texture, and aroma of the food. It’s important to note that mindful eating is a practice that takes time knowing that the loss of control of eating did not happen overnight and it will not get better overnight either.
