Mindful eating has exceeded two decades of scientific enquiry but defining mindful eating has proven to be quite challenging.
The inability to clearly define mindful eating led to variations in the description in academic and clinical literature, different psychometric tools and the development of a field that is lacking the preciseness that is needed to advance mindful eating - and the associated interventions - onto a level that is simple to comprehend and implement in practice.
Drawing from traditional and contemporary mindfulness and mindful eating literature, this manuscript will attempt to define and describe mindful eating in the context of eating behaviours.
The review of the literature has resulted in challenging areas around the main principles that should be included in defining the term mindful eating, and highlights the distinction between mindfulness and mindful eating, as well as behaviour and decision making within the context of mindful eating.
In a field that is lacking transparency and methodological rigour, is detailed as a new beginning in conducting precise experimental research and evidence-based interventions for clinical and non-clinical use.
正念饮食已经有超过二十年的科学研究，但要定义正念饮食却被证明是极具挑战性的。
正念饮食无法被清晰定义，导致学术和临床文献中的描述存在差异、不同的心理测量工具，以及该领域缺乏推进正念饮食——以及相关干预措施——所需的精确性，从而难以理解和实际应用。
本文借鉴传统和当代正念和正念饮食文献，尝试在饮食行为的背景下定义和描述正念饮食。
文献综述揭示了在定义正念饮食术语时应包含的主要原则方面存在挑战，并强调了正念和正念饮食之间的区别，以及在正念饮食背景下的行为和决策。
在一个缺乏透明度和方法严谨性的领域中，本文详细阐述了一种新的开始，可用于进行精确的实验研究和基于证据的干预措施，以供临床和非临床使用。
