Mindful Eating - The Key to Sustainable Weight Loss

The focus of this course is to learn and explore strategies and skills based on the principles of “mindfulness” for losing weight, maintaining weight loss, and decreasing metabolic health problems. Mindless eating or eating when we are not physically hungry to manage our emotions or avoid dealing with stress is a part of life. Depending on the frequency and amount this can lead to weight gain, health problems, and decreased quality of life. Mindfulness skills, such as mindful eating, can help us to learn to interrupt these unhelpful habits or patterns, develop healthier relationships with food and our bodies, and improve our quality of life.
