Mindful Eating Challenge Day 8: Eat without distractions

 Eat your meal free from distractions

Whether it’s working through lunch at a desk or noshing on chips while watching Netflix, distracted eating is common. While it might seem harmless, it may encourage you to overeat.

A review of 24 studies found that distractions led people to consume more calories during a meal. It also caused them to eat more food later in the day.

Mindful Eating Challenge Day 7: Identify positive feelings

For today’s challenge: As you eat, avoid using your phone or computer, don’t read a book or magazine, and keep the TV off. When you’re finished, ask yourself how this meal felt different than the ones with distractions.

Keep going strong!

Until tomorrow,
