Can mindfulness help with cravings?

Yes, sometimes. Mindfulness helps you notice a craving as a temporary body-mind event rather than an order you must obey.

Name it: "craving". Notice where it is strongest, what triggered it, and what promise it is making. Then choose: eat intentionally, delay, change environment, drink water, take a walk, or address the emotion underneath.

If cravings regularly become binges or feel out of control, the plan may need more food structure or professional support.
