Another Study On Mindfulness, Eating And Weight Loss

The evidence attesting to the health benefits of mindfulness continues—unabated.
A new study, published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior,shows that older women who practised mindful restaurant eating lost an average of nearly 4 pounds (1.8 kg) in 6 weeks, even though they were only trying to maintain their weight.
The study researchers looked at the effects of a mindful restaurant-eating program on weight among women aged 40 to 59 who ate out at least 3 times a week. About half of the 35 women in the study participated in a 6-week mindful eating trial focused on preventing weight gain, and the other half acted as a comparison group.
At the end of the 6-week study, the women who practised mindful eating lost an average of 3.7 pounds (1.7 kg), while the comparison group didn’t have any significant weight loss. Additionally, the mindful eating group reduced their daily calorie intake by about 297 calories (1247.4 kJ). The really interesting thing is that the researchers say only about 124 of that calorie reduction (or 520.8 kJ) was accounted for during eating out, which indicates fewer calories were also eaten at home.
Of course, losing excess weight is one thing – and never an easy thing to do in any event! However, making sure you do not regain that excess weight is another thing altogether. So, we have to be ‘working’ on ourselves all the time – watching our self-talk, using affirmations and creative visualization, eating wisely, engaging in daily meditation, relaxtion and a sensible program of physical exercise, avoiding ‘triggers,’ and uprooting those unhealthy emotions and mindsets which would lead us back into negative and self-destructive patterns of behaviour.
