Eating disorders often include a lot of attention to what is consumed. Explain why this is not mindful eating.

Mindful eating is about using mindfulness to reach a state of full attention to your experiences, cravings, and physical cues when eating. Fundamentally, mindful eating involves: eating slowly and without distraction, listening to physical hunger cues and eating only until you’re full, distinguishing between true hunger and non-hunger triggers for eating
