Recommendations for weight loss include a combination of reducing caloric intake, increasing physical activity, and behavior modification. Behavior modification includes mindful eating or eating with awareness. The purpose of this review was to summarize the literature and examine the impact of mindful eating on weight management.The practice of mindful eating has been applied to the reduction of food cravings, portion control, body mass index, and body weight. Past reviews evaluating the relationship between mindfulness and weight management did not focus on change in mindful eating as the primary outcome or mindful eating as a measured variable. This review demonstrates strong support for inclusion of mindful eating as a component of weight management programs and may provide substantial benefit to the treatment of overweight and obesity.}, number={1}, journal={Current Obesity Reports}, publisher={Springer Nature}, author={Dunn, Carolyn and Haubenreiser, Megan and Johnson, Madison and Nordby, Kelly and Aggarwal, Surabhi and Myer, Sarah and Thomas, Cathy}, year={2018}, month={Feb}, pages={37–49} }
