This book provides a healthy guide.,
By james bundschuh (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eating Mindfully: How to End Mindless Eating and Enjoy a Balanced Relationship with Food (Paperback)
Eating Mindfully provides an excellent guide to people who are serious about learning about themselves and their relationship with food. This book does not promote diets; instead it focuses on true self-awareness. The book explains that through self-awareness one can understand how and why he/she has certain eating behaviors. Buddhism stresses the importance of awareness, and Dr. Albers utilizes some of the most useful facets of Buddhism to help her organize an effective guide.Dr. Albers explains that if you understand yourself and why you eat the way you do, a balance will be reached and a healthy relationship with food will result. Anyone can lose weight through dieting, but to become the person you want to be and stay that way, a permanent change in behavior is required -- anyone who is honest with himself/herself knows that. Dr. Albers provides a guide to anyone who wants to and has the determination to make this change in his/her life. After reading the book, I found myself more aware of my eating patterns. In several instances it helped me to not stuff myself silly, which I tend to do on occasion. I would highly recommend this book.

An Excellent Book,
By Angela "Sun Goddess" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eating Mindfully: How to End Mindless Eating and Enjoy a Balanced Relationship with Food (Paperback)
Highly recommended! This book returns us to the fundamentals of eating - nourishing the body with attention and kindness. It brought my awareness to where I "zone out" when eating, and gave a lot of helpful suggestions to become more aware of my body's natural rhythms and needs. This would be recommended for individuals with eating disorders and those who want to re-learn how to care for their bodies naturally, with NO DIETING!!!

Useful Suggestions, But Not Enough Foundation,
By Empire City - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eating Mindfully: How to End Mindless Eating and Enjoy a Balanced Relationship with Food (Paperback)
This book is a collection of 46 brief observations on mindless eating. The observations are short, one or two pages, and include suggestions on how to turn mindless eating into mindfull eating. The observations themselves are diverse so every reader will most likely find several that relate to their specific problems with eating.However, very little of the book is devoted to the fundamentals of "mindfullness". The book causally quotes the Buddhist origins of "mindfullness" but does not expand on the topic. This causes the observations to feel a little empty since they're constantly referring to a "mindfullness" concept that hasn't been meaningfully explained. If you want a fundamental understanding of Buudhist "mindfulness" before you apply it to eating problems then I would read "The Zen of Eating" by Kabatznick. If you prefer a more 'thought for the day' type of format then this book is more appropriate. 38 of 40 people found the following review helpful

I saw this book in O Oprah Magazine,
By Julie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eating Mindfully: How to End Mindless Eating and Enjoy a Balanced Relationship with Food (Paperback)
What a wonderful, compassionate and helpful guide! I've run across this book in several places but I finally broke down and bought it when I saw it in Oprah Magazine. I'm glad I did. It was different than the other diet books I've bought. It was insightful, easy to read and positive. It helped me to understand why I mindlessly eat and gave a lot of helpful hints for eating in a more mindful, relaxed way. If you want a sample of what is inside this book before you buy it, check out Dr. Albers' website. It was a helpful resource for me and would be for anyone with eating issues.
