A gentle, non-diet tool designed to help clients reconnect with their body’s hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues while developing a more compassionate relationship with food.
The Mindful Eating Journal encourages curiosity rather than judgment and helps individuals notice patterns in their eating experiences, emotions, hunger and fullness cues, satisfaction, and energy levels. It emphasizes that there are no “good” or “bad” answers and that every meal can be an opportunity to learn more about your body.
This resource can be used as a standalone journal, a client education tool, or as part of nutrition counseling focused on mindful eating and body awareness.
Included in this journal:
- Hunger & Fullness Scale – A 1–10 scale to help clients practice identifying hunger, fullness, comfort, and satisfaction cues.
