How does mindful eating without non-judgement, mindfulness and self-compassion relate to motivations to eat palatable foods in a student population?
Previous research acknowledges the impact mindfulness, mindful eating and self-compassion has upon weight regulation and motives to eat palatable foods, with mindful eating showing an increased impact of eating behaviours.
