6 Mindful Eating Practices to Feel Happier and More Satisfied

Part of mindful eating, Leslie says, is to only eat when you are truly hungry. How do you tell? Use the hunger scale. It's a scale from one to 10, with one being your absolute hungriest and feeling light-headed, five being completely neutral (not hungry and not at all full), and 10 being really uncomfortably stuffed. You want to grab a meal or snack when you're at a three and your tummy is grumbling and stop eating when you're satisfied at a six.
