The Four Noble Truths of Healthy Weight1. Being overweight or obese is suffering.2. You can identify the roots of your weight problem.3. Reaching a healthy weight is possible.4. You can follow a mindful path to a healthy weight.

Simply by consistently paying attention to what you are eating, you will naturally eat less, and over time this should result in effortless weight loss.

Some of the practices recommended include honoring your food, engaging all six senses, serving modest portions, savoring small bites, chewing slowly and eating regular meals.

The Mindful Diet offers different mindfulness approaches developed by the Institute for Mindfulness Studies to work with people interested in dieting. While no particular diet is endorsed, the mindfulness methods are generally applicable to most. IMS has developed mindfulness approaches for four primary domains associated with diet -- eating, fitness, body image, and weight loss.

The Mindfulness Diet begins with the premise that every body naturally contains the wisdom it needs to maintain its optimal health and weight. Unfortunately, in people who struggle with eating, this wisdom is typically hidden under layers of bodily stress and tension, mental activity and emotional reactivity.

Bottoms Up! The Influence of Elongation on Pouring and Consumption VolumeBeware of the shape of the glass you use. You could drink much more than you think. Studies show that visual illusions unknowingly cause us to pour an average of 34% more into short wide glasses than tall narrow ones.

…Professional Gone PersonalReshape your mind and

rethink your body. Transform negative body image through meditation, guided imagery, cognitive reframing and positive-self talk. Develop healthier attitudes around food and return the pleasure in eating by saying “no-no” to the dieting yo-yo. Finally, explore a variety of fun ways to move your body toward wholeness.
