Mindful eating is one way to achieve portion control because taking your time while eating is more likely to allow you to feel full before you have finished.

Mindful eating is a gradual process. It can take time to become accustomed to sitting down to enjoy food rather than grabbing whatever is handy so that you can move on to other things.

Before you take your first bite, pause to appreciate what you are about to eat. Look at the food. Once you start eating, eat slowly and chew slowly so that you can appreciate the flavor.

Mindful eating will allow you to discover the reasons that you eat other than physical hunger such as boredom or stress. A study done recently showed that if people were given stale popcorn while standing in line for the theater, they universally recognized that it was not good. But if given stale popcorn during the movie that very few people recognized that it was stale. Their minds were focused on the movie and not on the quality of the popcorn.

Mindful eating is paying full attention to the experience of eating. Eating while pushing aside other thoughts and feelings will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of your eating habits.
