Mindful eating is also on my list of things to practice. While I don’t particularly like the idea of fake foods, tracking what you eat is a good start to being mindful about it and in fact at the conference one of the speakers stated he’d lost 50 pounds simply by being mindful about his food consumption. Because I like the accountability of the program this is the app I’ll use, however there are other great resources out there including Sparkpeople that work great.
