用心饮食：与食物和平共处，华盛顿邮报，2013年6月5日
We know a whole lot about what (kale) and what not - (potato chips) to eat.
我们对什么可以吃（甘蓝）什么不可以吃（薯片）了解很多，
But what about the how and why of eating?
但对怎么吃以及为什么吃又了解多少呢？
Those questions are just as important, says Vanessa King, nutrition professor at American University and a proponent of "mindful eating"--the how and why of eating--along with the what.
美国大学提倡“用心饮食”的营养学教授Vanessa King说，怎样吃以及为什么吃这些问题与吃什么同样重要。
"We all develop a lot of automatic patterns around eating, " says Kristeller, co-founder of the Center for Mindful Eating,
“用心饮食”的创始人之--Kristeller说:“我们都有很多有关吃的习惯性模式。”
who has a doctorate in psychology and whose research focus is food intake regulation and eating disorders.
Kristeller拥有心理学博士学位，并致力于研究食物摄取和饮食调节。
"Eating everything on our plate is a perfect example of one of those patterns. " she says.
她还说，“把盘子里的东西吃完就是这些模式中的一个很好的例子”。
"Mindful eating is (about) bringing your attention to a more calm place, " says Kristeller.
Kristeller博士说，“用心饮食是把注意力转移到一个更平静的地方”，
"And then you might start observing yourself and learning about yourself in a nonjudgmental way. "
“然后你会开始观察自己并用一种客观的方式来认知自我”。
If observing is the first step, the second step is connecting the body and the mind, says Elise Museles, a nutrition and eating psychology educator in Bethesda.
贝赛斯达的营养和饮食心理教育家Elise Museles说，如果观察是第一步，那第二步就是身体和心灵的连接。
"I find that for many of us, the biggest thing we're missing is what our body is telling us, " Museles says.
“我发现，我们当中的很多人最大的疏忽是忽视了那些身体告诉我们的信息，
Slowing down allows you to taste and feel textures, to feel full sooner with less."
吃慢一点，细细品味，你很快就感觉饱了。”Museles说。
Presenting the food in a pleasing way is part of that slowing-down process.
在放慢速度的过程当中，用让自己心情愉快的方式摆放食物也是重要的一步。
Another tool is to keep a food diary.
King教授说，另一种方法是不断的记饮食日记。
It makes you observe your behavior in a whole new way, King says.
它让你以一种全新的方式观察你的饮食行为。
"Mindful eating is about cultivating that inner gourmet—really letting yourself enjoy the food you enjoy—just in smaller quantities." Kristeller says.Thank you.
“用心饮食就是培养自己成为内在的食客，让自己真正享受自己喜欢的食物，只是量要小。”Kristeller博士说。谢谢。
