Review of Eat, Drink and Be Mindful: How to End Your Struggle with Mindless Eating and Start Savoring Food with Intention and Joy (Paperback)

As a psychologist, I would certainly recommend this book to clients who have eating difficulties (or therapists who work with them).The workbook has a non-judgmental friendly tone that makes it easy to read.Dr. Albers includes several good assessments/checklists that can be used to pinpoint how you are struggling with mindless eating.The rest of the book contains many well thought-out exercises and practical suggestions to target different aspects of eating issues.I think this book can help to change your relationship with food.

Product Description
In the rush of everyday life, most people have difficulty finding ways to give their relationship with food the full attention it deserves. Demanding diets saddle you with guilt about your appetite, but overeating and mindless snacking prove ultimately unsatisfying as well. Mindful eating is a whole new way of looking at food. Instead of rushing through meals, mindful eating emphasizes slowing down and savoring what you eat.
Eat, Drink, and Be Mindful, by the author of Eating Mindfully, includes mindfulness tips, activities, and checklists to help you start a mindful eating program, evaluate your progress, and discover a healthier and richer relationship with food.
  • Become aware of hunger cues
  • Make wise food choices
  • End emotional eating
  • Practice self-acceptance and compassion
  • Be in the moment at mealtime

"This book could be a godsend for anyone suffering from lifelong issues around eating, weight, and appearance. It presents a sane and novel approach to finding a balanced relationship to food, eating, and your body through mindfulness. The book is written by someone with obvious depth of experience and savvy who is definitely on your side, whatever your difficulties or challenges. Eat, Drink, and Be Mindful may be just what the doctor ordered, or would have but couldn't--until now."
