Eating is a process. There are many choices that are made while eating. You decide what type of food or beverage, where it is eaten, when it is eaten, how much is eaten, what size of a bite is taken, how many times you chew before swallowing, how much time is taken between bites, when to stop eating, and many other small choices throughout the meal. Most of these decisions have become automatic and unconscious. Intentional eating can help to put us back in touch with the process of eating and give us the power to make better choices.
