  17. Aisha Mohamed

    It’s annoying, in the UK it’s more expensive to eat healthy

      • Haleh Banani

        Aisha Mohamed It’s like that everywhere. You can either pay for expensive organic food and be healthy or pay the pharmaceuticals later in life.

  18. Maryam Iqbal

    Identifying your triggers

  19. Maryam Iqbal

    Pause before eating give yourself 5 mins do zikr

  20. Saj Irshad

  26. Saj Irshad

    My take: I will apply the sunnah, of 1 third empty, savour and enjoy each mouthful, and do shukar of Allah

    • Haleh Banani

      Saj Irshad Excellent!

  27. Medina Aidarova

    Make a healthiER meal plan

  28. Fatima Shahid

    Grocery shopping is a big part of healthy mindful eating! Dont bring unhealthy foods home! Out of sight, out of mind!

    • Medina Aidarova

      yes, and sticking to list, haaaa

  29. Medina Aidarova

    chew each bite 33 times

    • Haleh Banani

  30. Fatima Shahid

  31. Medina Aidarova

    • Haleh Banani

      Medina Aidarova Alhamdulillah!

  32. Fatima Shahid

    Too many distractions these days, we are always multitasking and not enjoying that eating moment whether together or alone. There is so much barakah in food SubhanAllah, but we first need to respect eating time, be grateful of the food and enjoy time with loved ones, follow all the beautiful Sunnah of eating In Shaa Allah!

  33. Medina Aidarova

    My cultural background is full of Mindless Eating, subhanAllah! Force feeding is being hospitable 🙁

    • Saj Irshad

      I can relate completely! My dad thinks I’m mad if I say this is not healthy, we shouldn’t eat too much of it! lol

  34. Tahira Asaf Ali

    Mindful- use brain; not heart- emotion

  35. Amira Ghazy

    Omg my parents used to do that lol

  36. Lindie Wheeler Gibbs

    Yes! Bring ALL of your senses to the table!

  37. Tahira Asaf Ali

    1/3 of the stomach to b kept emoty

    • Medina Aidarova

      in theory everyone knows, but not everyone does it…

  38. Fatima Shahid

    When body feels dehydrated we usually mistake it as hunger and instead of drinking water we reach for wrong kinds of foods or soda etc. Drinking atleast 1 glass of water every time you get hungry is a great way to cut down on those cravings and avoid over-eating!

    • Medina Aidarova

      couldn’t agree more!!!

      • Amira Ghazy

        They recommend to drink 2 cups, room temp water when first wake up. It helps digestion a lot!

  39. Medina Aidarova

    There is also a trick to put down the fork/spoon in between the bites.

  40. Afsheen Hassan

    Our religion teaches us to eat less,just enough to keep yourself keep healthy.

  41. Amira Ghazy

    Irritability could also be related to not eating or not eating something fulfilling

  42. Madeeha Rauf

    What’s the background noise?

  43. Saj Irshad

    yes, and recitation

  44. Tahira Asaf Ali

    Like the non pharmacolo treatment- non diet. Good choice of expression.

  45. Amira Ghazy

    Food mood love it

  46. Saj Irshad

    ‘Non’ diet! I love it!

  47. Medina Aidarova

    WOW! This is great!!! Hunger for nature… Love that!

    • Haleh Banani

      Medina Aidarova Great!

  48. Amira Ghazy

    Emotional eating definitely linked to depression, anxiety, stress and may lead to eating disorders

    • Haleh Banani

      Amira Ghazy Yes it is!

  49. Amira Ghazy

    Alhamdullilah I’ve gained more control over my eating. I’m not perfect, but I’m eating healthier and exercise more

  50. Amira Ghazy

    So true Sr. Haleh

  51. Suzan Barakat

    Love the suggestion for doing thikr when emotional eating cravings hit and to evaluate what we REALLY need

  52. Amira Ghazy

    *share home

  53. Amira Ghazy

    It’s hard sometimes to have complete control over food when don’t have complete control over what’s in your home when share him with others

  54. Amira Ghazy

    Find it ironic that those that tell us we need to lose weight are those that feed us unhealthy food

  55. Tahira Asaf Ali

    Body is amana…. yes we will b questioned

  56. Medina Aidarova

    Does pregnancy craving count?

    • Haleh Banani

      Medina Aidarova No, you can crave during pregnancy

  57. Medina Aidarova

    I like that 🙂 food and mood diary

  58. Maryam Mustafa

    What should we do if social influence is in our own home like our husband

      I was thinking the same. My husband ‘keeps’ offering me food and I’m so weak, I can’t say no most of the time

  59. Zakiya Ismail

    Boredom and stress and sometimes just to unwind
