In the modern day, people are becoming more and more distracted during their meals. They often multi-task while eating, which decreases the quality of their experience with food. To counter these destructive eating habits, mindful eating, a meditation method, can be used to enhance focus during mealtimes. Mindfully eating means paying full attention to your food and how your body and mind responds to it, while also giving yourself and your food the time they deserve.

 With Eatentive, a mindful eating training program, users can learn techniques and form habits that enrich their eating experience. The program consists of 7-days of themed training, and a booklet and props designed for continuing the mindful eating experience outside of the program. The first day is an introduction to mindful eating, days two to six are about how to use the five senses in mindful eating, and day seven is about pacing the eating speed. After that, 27 days of food journaling are included in the booklet. There, the user will be able to document one meal per day on their own, using the mindful eating techniques they’ve acquired during the first seven days of the program.
