Description

Eating Mindfully introduces acceptance and awareness of one’s eating behaviours, new exercises steeped in Buddhist practices for healing unhealthy eating patterns, and a means for restoring tranquillity to meals. The author presents readers with the four foundations of mindful eating - mindfulness of the mind, the body, the feelings, and the thoughts. She does not encourage a diet of deprivation, but instead provides a checklist for the wide variety of mindless eating approaches, which include fasting, dieting, and restricting certain foods, rapid eating, eating when not hungry or when tired, and food rituals.
