Mindful eating, conscious eating, and intuitive eating are all terms to describe eating that occurs when the mind and the body are in full communication. When this process is happening, we eat in response to our body cues and our body's needs.

Mindful eating is the opposite of bingeing. The food we eat consciously gives our bodies and our minds pleasure. Conscious eating fuels us and gives us energy. Binge Eating - How to Stop Binge Eating and Get Back in the Driver's Seat Binge eating is eating "gone wrong." Binge eating is eating gone on automatic pilot, eating disconnected from physical body sensations like fullness and hunger. Conscious eating does not leave us stuffed to the gills, sick to our stomachs and collapsed on the couch, too uncomfortable to move. We eat what we are hungry for and we eat until we are full (not stuffed). After a binge you may experience a glazed feeling and a "coming back to awareness." "What happened here?" and "I wish I could undo that" are com thoughts. To stop binge eating, the first requirement is to turn.

We are conscious of how we are feeling while we are eating and how we are likely to feel afterwards.
