3 of 3 copies available
Discover the art and science of mindful eating!
Eating a sandwich while running from a bear isn’t good for digestion or nutrition. That’s exactly what we’re doing when eating a meal on the run or being distracted by computers, TVs, and our phones. Rather than nourishing our bodies, we are feeding anxiety and poor habits that prevent our systems from functioning well.
Author and registered dietitian Michelle Babb shows you how to practice mindful eating that lets your body access the nutrients from food and turn on its self-regulating system. When you build a positive relationship with food, you reduce binge and emotional eating—and can shed pounds, maintain your healthiest weight, and ensure optimal digestion. Here, you’ll learn how to:
• Bring your attention to eating
• Engage the senses (tune into smell, taste, texture, thoughts) while eating
• Identify your habits and patterns around food
• Eat when you're hungry (and know when you're full)
• Discover foods that taste good (and make you feel good)
• Whip 30 vegetarian recipes designed to engage all your senses
Whether you are trying to lose weight, recover from an eating disorder, or improve your overall state of calm and wellness, this book helps you change your relationship with food and cultivate a positive eating mindset.

Nutritionist Babb (Anti-Inflammatory Eating for a Happy, Healthy Brain, 2016) wants to help people improve their relationships with food, their bodies, and the way they eat. Readers of this guide to mindful eating will appreciate its accessible language and appealingly presented information, as well as its emphasis on education, self-awareness, and personal comfort. Babb focuses on allowing everyone to find the personal form of healthy that is safe and comfortable for them. Rather than idealizing a specific weight, Babb points out, readers should envision how they feel at a certain weight and how they feel maintaining that weight. She offers step-by-step instructions for practicing mindful eating and easy-to-follow guidance for reflecting on one's relationship with food. Recipes are both delicious and fun to read. Covering everything from the science behind what and how we eat to how to shop with gratitude, Babb's wonderful book reminds us why we enjoy eating in the first place.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
