The Antidote to Mindless Eating with Br. Chan Pháp Lưu | Get Fit Sanely Listener Picks

This is the Ten Percent Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey hey, happy Friday, everybody. As you may know. I have in recent years become deeply suspicious of diets.

To be clear, I'm talking about my own life here. Talking about what works for me. I'm quite wary of being overly prescriptive on this subject. I'm not picking sides in the diet wars here. I'm just talking about My own life. But anyway, back to my point. I'm not a fan of diets, at least not for me personally. I've been heavily influenced in this regard by Evelyn Triboli, who's one of the creators of intuit eating. Evelyn argued that instead of eating according to somebody else's rules,

you should make the radical move of listening to your own body. How do you do that? As you might imagine, mindfulness can be very helpful in this regard. Paying attention while you're eating can help you sense when you're hungry or full. It can also help you actually taste your food and uh enjoy the process. So today in this brief bonus episode, we're gonna drop a nugget of wisdom about mindful eating from a Buddhist monk.
