2 things. 1 clear everything away. 2 appreciate a healthy meal. not junk food. eat it slowly. appreciate every bite. again no distractions. just calm quite peace. it really helps a lot more then people realize or give this relatively simple practice credit for. we enjoy your content . keep up the great work you do. here is to 1 million subscribers very soon. you deserve it.
Thank you SO much for this video! The way you explained everything is absolutely perfect and I hope it will encourage others to see all of the benefits of mindful eating! (I was able to go from 275lbs to 143lbs after I changed my focus to HOW I was eating instead of just WHAT I was eating) Keep creating these informative videos, they're much appreciated! 😊
yes, just recently and I have definitely noticed it having a beneficial effect on my food choices, opting for 'cleaner' food, more high vibrational. so yes it's a practice I most certainly want to incorporate into my wellness kit.xx
I’m actually a Noom member and I love it!! I started it because I wanted to change my relationship with food and get off the yo-yo diets that can happen. I wanted to learn good habits and make it sustainable. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a life change!!
I started mindful eating and it has helped me truly get in touch with my body. I noticed that several foods, like dairy, made me feel crappy when I was eating them. When I cut them out my body feels so much better. I also started making themed lunches (like rice balls shaped as a fish when I put smoked salmon in them kind of themed) and it made me focus on the food. I feel happy when I make food beautiful and it made me more mindful of what went into those foods.
Thanks for the perfect timing of this video, I have just started to get back to my healthy dieting after depression eating for a while now. Your content has always been very helpful in keeping my food goals in the foreground of my health and reminding me that it doesn't have to be hard. Keep it up!
I'd actually love more videos about this! I was getting really frustrated with this feeling of knowing I need better eating habits and even knowing what foods would make good replacements, but because of circumstances out of my control I have ingrained habits that make that feel impossible. I'd really love some tips for changing ingrained/since childhood eating habits that aren't the best. Other than that, loved the video!!
This week I was feeling very frustrated with my eating habits and constantly feeling hungry etc. This video helped me think about other components of what I'm eating etc and I'm excited to try some of these exercises next week!
Whenever you see a successful person you only see the public glories, never the private sacrifices to reach them. I'm finding growing my study and meditation music TH-cam channel to be hard work, but I'm sure this was also true of those channels that are currently very successful. Keep going and you will make it.
I really appreciate this video as a mental health therapist. The exercises you discussed can be very helpful for people with eating disorders and/or anxiety.
Once again, thank you for sharing something that I desperately need in my life. Even though I have made some positive strides, the journey is far from over. I've never had a happy relationship with food and mindful eating is one thing that I do need and you're right, it's more than what you eat, it's also about where you eat, how you eat and how you feel when you eat. Thank you for "shining the light" to show another, healthier way.
If I found time to sit down and eat a meal with no distraction I would chuck it and take a nap. My life moves at me a hundred miles an hour. Luckily I can always turn it off and have a good night sleep. When I think of mindfulness I think of mindless lol. This is great information I appreciate you taking the time to share. Thank you.
This video is so so good ! I have a very unhealthy relationship with food due to my yo yo diets and emotional eating. I eat when I get super anxious . I have been trying to more mindful as I don't want my kids to be like me. We try not to use gadgets at meals. But yes I did but of distraction feeding for my toddler to make him eat more. I really love your channel. Thanks for this video.
I try to listen to my body more when I’m feeling full. Usually at a restaurant or if someone has cooked for me I tend to want to finish the food to the point where I feel bloated or have a belly ache after. I stop when I feel full and I can always take a bag to go! Basically two meals for one!
Omg! I've done the raisin exercise too when I took a Mindfulness class. I didn't know you could get your masters in Mindfulness studies 🤯👌 that's awesome! Thanks so much for uploading this, it was very helpful.❤ need more like this.
I have done the raisin exercise as part of a workbook on mindfulness and my reactions were very similar to yours. I also remember the first time I practiced mindfulness while eating a meal, another exercise in the workbook, and I was surprised at how full I was after only eating about a third of my standard Saturday lunch. Very eye-opening about how much more I eat while reading.
I’ve been keeping a gratitude journal for the last month and it’s been so helpful! That plus daily meditation have made me feel so much more at peace and present in my life 💜
Sheela Narayanan hi! I’m no expert but I write mine at night (you can do it whenever you like) and I like to write about whatever I’m grateful for, big or small. A lot of my days I repeat the same things I was grateful for the day before but that just makes me extra appreciative of having those things (tangible or not) in my life :) hope this helps and good luck journaling!
Alyssia this was such an interesting video & really timely for me! I was thinking about the idea of mindful eating recently during breakfast while scrolling thru my phone, a newer habit I re-developed when I started a new job. I'm definitely going to have to get back into the practice of eating more mindfully. Also your hair looks amazing in this video!
Thank you for this video. I have such a bad habit of eating in the middle of the night. I do enjoy learning about mindfulness. It has help me regarding various environments I'm in.
Great video with many really useful tips. You will have to forgive me, though, for paying more attention to your lovely, lovely dog and the lovely close relationship you two have! Thank you for being a really good mum to your dog!!!! I am really grateful for your channel as watching your videos brings me much happiness. Please give your dog a cuddle from me! Many good wishes from the UK!
@@MindOverMunch Yes, she is very beautiful! And she has really soulful eyes! We have a labradoodle girl called Bumble and she keeps me sane but at the same time I love her in quite an insane way! Thank you so much for sending love my way! I felt very touched by that! Have a lovely weekend Alicia! May you all be happy and well!
Thank you for this. I am a visual learner and watching you slowly experience that raisin was so interesting and helpful. Reading these steps would not have helped me at all.
This was very interesting, I started different eating habits this year and have just been taking notes but, the "no judgment" is very mind opening. I liked this yes, please do more!
yes! so, this meditation position is called "seiza" or kneeling, and I use the meditation bench, so I am sitting on the bench and not actually on my legs. It's a lot less pressure on my low back than sitting on a bolster cross legged :)
Great video, I would definitely watch more mindfulness content. The "should" alarm is very good advice that is also offered for grief counseling in that judging your emotions makes you more mired in them. Stands to reason it would be similar with food relationships. Brb gonna go eat a raisin 😁
When I saw you with pink hair in the thumbnail, Alyssia, you looked absolutely adorable. What's your best tip for making a coffee cake look decorative?
Thanks for the great tips which I have already incorporated into my life! BTW, there is such a word as ungrateful!! un·grate·ful /ˌənˈɡrātfəl/ Learn to pronounce adjective not feeling or showing gratitude. "she's so ungrateful for everything we do"
I just stopped ketogenic diet last 2 week, and i notice my mental got very tense, i feel several strike from eating guilt, and very super judgemental with high carb food, i feel stressed out, and feel very sad, like last night is my birthday, and i cant hold myself to finish a piece of that sweet savoury cheese cake, but, after that i feel very guilty even i try to throw it out but unsuccess, and i go to sleep with an anger to my self about why i let myself eat that sweet cheese cake at 00:30 in the midnight? I really hate myself about it... Trying to forgive myself but it's so hard... And i realize i come to this corner of the pre eating disorder state... But i still dont want to eat those carb, i hate those carb will come back to ruin my hard work of losing my body weight, i love sweet food, but not like i should eat it in the midnight and go to sleep and the next morning all those fermented carb causing the morning hunger like i wanna hate myself more... Sad... But i had to get over this phrase and try a way to get back to myself..
oh man, that sounds so challenging! I know the struggle. It's hard when we make food a "moral" issue-we decide we are "good" or "bad" because of the food we eat, and that just isn't true. The Whole30 program really helped me with that, and it's "paleo" ish but not keto, and only for 30 days, so it might be a good place to start. Overall, I hope you can keep trying to be kind to yourself! Beating ourselves up only keeps us in our own way
I find that if I eat when 8m not distracted I tend to rush my food and get indigestion. I started watching you tube videos whilst eating as an aim to slow myself down. My brain gets bored so I rush to do the next thing, having something to distract my brain helps me eat slowly
@@MindOverMunch it really is, I do meditate when I can and try to be mindful of other things but when it comes to eating I need some thing to help me consciously slow down.
Have you tried mindful eating? What did you notice?
Mind Over Munch I noticed an increase of self control!
that is amazing! so powerful!

the raisin exercise is brilliant to really practise being mindful, and love the gratitude tips

I found that mindfulness has absolutely life changing
I believe in the power of the word. I'm going to begin mindful eating to help me with my relationship with food.
amazing!!
I want someone to do a mindful eating “mukbang” so I can observe.
I try to listen to my body more when I’m feeling full. Usually at a restaurant or if someone has cooked for me I tend to want to finish the food to the point where I feel bloated or have a belly ache after. I stop when I feel full and I can always take a bag to go! Basically two meals for one!
I totally hear you. I have struggled with this and still do... knowing my body is telling me I'm full and deciding to listen!

Your description of the raisin was making my mouth water. 😅

Wow I didn't know you get a partial sponsor. You learn something new every day.
:)
Sorry, not really a food related question, but at 2:12 , how do you prevent your feet/legs from falling asleep while meditating sitting like that?
yes! so, this meditation position is called "seiza" or kneeling, and I use the meditation bench, so I am sitting on the bench and not actually on my legs. It's a lot less pressure on my low back than sitting on a bolster cross legged :)
Great video, thank you 🙏
Thank you :)
excellent content, and yes please more videos on mindful eating, thank you very much!!xx
Thank you! Will do!
Wonderful video. I'm doing a masters in nutrition just now, and I've been learning about behavior change so this is right on time
that's amazing! I am so glad more behavior change is being incorporated into nutrition!
@@MindOverMunch me too. The psychology behind eating is so important
I would love some more videos on mindful eating.
You got it! Thank you!
This was awesome! Your videos are always enlightening 💚
Glad you think so! thank you!!
Interesting weight loss plan: take 5 minutes for each bite of your food lol
🤪
Love the content of video so, I sent it to my sister who works in an office of Maxliving Chiropractic.
