Mindful eating is not some sort of crash diet nor is it about giving up the foods you love and crave. Far from it — it's all about experiencing your meals more intensely — and savor the pleasure of eating. A useful side effect is that you end up giving your body more time to communicate and tell you when to stop.

Learn in this 20 Minute Fitness episode how to master the art of mindful eating and utilize it to stay in shape — even during the holidays!

As always, show notes will be made available later on 20minute.fitness.
