The next time you reach for a snack or something to eat, ask yourself, are you really hungry? Mindful eating - the practical approach to bringing calm and awareness to meal times - is the topic for this week's episode as I'm joined by Aisling Larkin, co-founder of Foodoppi.

Disordered eating can lead to things quickly spiralling out of control, but you can bring mindfulness back to where you are and start afresh for the next meal or snack. Draw a line in the sand and move on.

When you’re more in tune with your body it’s about choosing quality over quantity and Aisling Larkin gives us some of the secrets and techniques to ensure that you're not eating mindlessly.

Plus she has some great tips for improving your kids' relationship with food to help make meal times more enjoyable for everyone!
