Key Takeaways:
- Intuitive eating is a more holistic approach to food that takes into account your body's natural wisdom and signals as opposed to following a black-and-white style of eating.
- Mindful eating, on the other hand, is more focused on the eating experience itself, noting what you’re hungry for, the smell, temperature, and texture of the food—considering all of the sense during the eating process. Also, an important aspect of mindful eating is eating slow enough for your brain to register fullness, which takes at least twenty minutes.
