Practices that may help

1. Mindful Eating, Made Practical
   Mindful eating is the practice of bringing full sensory and interoceptive attention to the experience of eating — noticing hunger and satiety cues, flavors, textures, and emotional drivers of eating — without judgment. Jan Chozen Bays’s work distinguishes nine "hungers" beyond stomach hunger. Evidence for mindful eating is most consistent for reducing binge eating and emotional eating; effects on weight alone are modest and mixed.
2. Identifying the nine hungers before eating
   Before each meal, check which of the nine hungers (eye, nose, mouth, stomach, cellular, mind, heart, touch, water) is actually asking to be fed.

3. Screen-free, task-free eating
   Eat at least one meal per day without phone, screen, or task — eating as the primary activity.

5. Gratitude and acknowledgment before meals
   Take 30 seconds before eating to acknowledge the food — who grew it, who prepared it, the chain of events that made it possible.

7. Habit Substitution: Swap the Routine, Keep the Reward
   Habit substitution means you do not try to delete a bad habit; you keep the same cue and the same reward it delivers and swap only the routine in the middle for a better one. The cue-routine-reward structure is grounded in real neuroscience and the substitution logic aligns with clinical relapse-prevention practice, but the step-by-step substitution method is a practitioner application rather than a single controlled trial.
8. Shift toward a whole-food eating pattern
   Eat more minimally processed whole foods and fewer ultra-processed ones — pattern over perfection.

9. Focus on keystone habits

10. Hunger-satiety scale — eating within the 3–7 window
    Eat when hunger reaches 3 on a 0–10 scale and stop when satiety reaches 7 — neither starving nor stuffed.
