Synopsis

The 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 audiobook, you'll learn how to:
Tune into your body's own wisdom about what, when, and how much to eatEat less while feeling fully satisfiedIdentify your habits and patterns with foodDevelop a more compassionate attitude toward your struggles with eatingDiscover what you're really hungry for

What makes this book worth reading? If you find yourself unhappy with the way you eat, this book is for you The concept of mindful eating to me was always something funny.
