Mindfulness-based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) Program

This mindful eating program will help you recover the joy of eating while achieving a healthier body & restoring your inner balance.

To get in contact or reinforce our relationship with the wisdom of our body, mindfulness practices are essential to be able to understand what our body is telling us in the present moment, without judgments, criticisms or characterizations of how things should be.

Using mindfulness in the context of eating is very useful because it gives us the opportunity to become aware of those unhealthy eating habits that minimize our quality of life. Thus, the goal of mindful eating practices is to help us fully reconnect with the joy of eating, using flexible eating behavioral patterns and avoiding restrictive behaviors because those are unsustainable.

In this workshop you will learn techniques that will help you:

• – Develop a healthier relationship with yourself and with food
• – Regulate the different triggers that lead you to over-eat Integrate knowledge about nutritional food values, exercise and body wisdom to achieve a balanced diet and healthy weight
• – Feel comfortable eating all type of foods, freeing yourself from calory anxiety
• – Establish a new, flexible, healthier and more sustainable mindset regarding nutritional patterns Identify what, when, how much food your body needs to stay fit and healthy.
