Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food--includes CD Review
Source: Product DescriptionThe art of mindfulness can transform our struggles with food—and renew our sense of pleasure, appreciation, and satisfaction with eating. Drawing on recent research and integrating her experiences as a physician and meditation teacher, Dr. Jan Bays offers a wonderfully clear presentation of what mindfulness is and how it can help with food issues.
Mindful eating is an approach that involves bringing one's full attention to the process of eating—to all the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. Whether you are overweight, suffer from an eating disorder, or just want to get more out of life, this book offers a simple tool that can make a remarkable difference.
In this book, you'll learn how to:
• Tune into your body's own wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat
• Eat less while feeling fully satisfied
• Identify your habits and patterns with food
• Develop a more compassionate attitude toward your struggles with eating
• Discover what you're really hungry for
Mindful Eating also includes a 75-minute audio CD containing guided exercises led by the author.

0 Person found this review helpful, Good Simple Book, Especially For Those With Eating Problems
Good simple book, especially for those with eating problems, not just 'disorders'...at the least, it's a good reminder to be mindful of our eating patterns, habits, choices, manners etc...buddhist in philosophy, this book was a quick simple read, comes with a therapeutic CD and though not necessarily a stunner, is worth it for the health benefits alone.

5 People found this review helpful, Changed My Life...
This book changed the way I think and feel about food in general. Had I known about this book years ago, the constant yo-yo dieting, and years of following "fad" diets (Atkins, South Beach, Vegan...) would not have consumed me. I plan on giving this book as a gift to all my friends who struggle with food addiction. This is NOT a diet book, but reading it has helped me to lose over 40 pounds. When I feel like I am falling off track of "paying attention" while I am eating, I read the book again. I have read it 3 times, and will continue to refer back to it forever. Along with the book, I meet with a Mindfulness Meditation group every week, and continue to meditate on my own everyday.

This by far the best book I have read on these subjecys. Most books emphasize one aspect ot the other but this book emphasizes both aspects equally. It is simple to follow and keeps to the point
