Welcome to Enjoy Every Bite!
Part one is an introduction to the course and I'll share my background as a trainer and health coach. You'll learn what we'll cover in this interactive course and how a mindful approach to eating aligns with your intention to feel great and live your best life.
You can also start using the 7-Day Guide to Mindful Eating from the book, Enjoy Every Bite. The guide is also included in this lesson.
Are You Mindful or Mind Full? examines how our hectic lives lead to mindless eating. You'll also learn what mindfulness is (and isn't) and how it works with eating.
You'll learn three key questions to eating with more awareness:
Why do I want to eat right now?
What is my hunger level?
How will this affect my energy, my weight and my health?
There is also a 1-minute of mindfulness exercise, which leads to your mindfulness practice for the day.
Kale not Karma answers the question, "Why should I eat with mindfulness?"
You'll learn keys ideas about eating with awareness and how it can help you discover freedom from judgment and restrictive diets.
The 1-minute of mindfulness exercise prepares you for your mindful eating practice for the day.
Remember to keep using the Seven Days of Mindful Eating guide, which is in the book, Enjoy Every Bite, and attached to this lecture.
In this lecture, Science!, I share the science behind mindful eating and weight loss.
Are you still skeptical? Well, there is a field of science, which studies mindfulness and eating behaviors and the results are excellent. In this lesson we'll discuss two of those studies.
You'll learn a new 1-minute of mindfulness technique and I will challenge you to prepare a meal with mindfulness.
Keep using the Seven Days of Mindful Eating guide with each meal and get your favorite chocolate ready for the next part of Enjoy Every Bite.

Be prepared to be surprised at how satisfying, nuanced and delicious a mindful approach to eating can be.
Today's 1-minute of mindfulness practice prepares you for the chocolate eating practice in this episode.
The practice for this episode will challenge you to truly understand the source of your next meal.
Granny's Rules examines the BASICs of mindful eating and how to incorporate conscious choices into your meals.
My granny set an example of mindful eating rituals for me and we can all learn from the way in which she presented every meal.
Today's 1-minute of mindfulness practice focuses on gratitude, which is a powerful way in which to bring awareness to your eating.
Please remember to use your Seven Day Mindful Eating guide, which is attached to each day of Enjoy Every Bite.
Do you struggle with food? Are you an off-and-on dieter? Are you sometimes frustrated by the way you eat? Maybe, another diet plan will make the difference. It’s a vicious cycle, isn’t it?
In Enjoy Every Bite you will learn the strategies and mindset I used to find peace with food.
Here's what you'll learn:
What mindfulness is and is not. Specifically, I'll share how eating with awareness helps you eat less and enjoy it more beginning with your next meal.
Why a conscious approach to eating (not dieting!) helps you to understand what, how much and when to eat.
How to eat mindfully. You'll even get to practice with chocolate!
The science behind mindful eating, weight loss and nutrition. Yes, there is proof it works :)
The key rituals to guide you in your conscious approach to food and eating. Or, why my grandma was a mindful eating guru.
The course includes practices to help you be more conscious of how, what and why you eat. There are also resources like the Seven-Day Mindful Eating Guide, a mindful eating assessment and a compilation of mindfulness references to support you.
So, if you struggle with overeating, off-and-on dieting, or the misinformed way in which our culture deals with nourishing ourselves, this course is for you.
