Savour the Moment

Mindful eating isn’t about eating less, it’s about noticing more.
Just a few small shifts can help you feel calmer, more in tune with your hunger cues, and more satisfied after meals:

  • Pause before you start eating: Take a breath, check in with your hunger, and give yourself a moment to settle.
    Remove one distraction: Turn off the TV, put your phone down, or step away from your laptop.
    Notice the details: The temperature, the texture, the flavour, the first few bites.
    Slow the pace: Put your fork down occasionally, take a sip of water, or simply pause mid-meal.
    Check in halfway through: Ask yourself, “Am I still hungry? Am I enjoying this?”

This isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.

🌿 When you slow down, you enjoy your food more, recognise fullness sooner, and feel more satisfied after eating. Savouring the moment can support both your wellbeing and your relationship with food.
