Food. It should be one of life's great pleasures, yet many of us have such a conflicted relationship with it that we miss out on that most basic of satisfactions. But it is possible-and not really all that difficult-to reclaim the joy of eating, according to Dr. Jan Bays. Mindfulness is the key. Her approach involves bringing one's full attention to the process of eating-to all the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. She shows you how to-

. Tune into your body's own wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat .

Eat less while feeling fully satisfied .

Identify your habits and patterns with food .

Develop a more compassionate attitude toward your struggles with eating .

Discover what you're really hungry for

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 transform your relationship with food into one of ease and delight.

This new edition, updated throughout, contains a new chapter on how to provide children with a foundation in mindful eating that will serve them well all the rest of their lives. It also includes a link to a 75-minute on-line audio program of mindful eating exercises led by the author.

Reviews for Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food (Revised Edition)

Bays calmly and systematically explains how a thoughtful approach to eating and drinking can positively affect one's weight and overall health. She offers readers a guide to lifelong health through a measured attitude toward food-hers may well be the healthiest, most sane diet book to hit shelves in a while. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Jan Chozen Bays should be recruited by the slow food movement. My favorite mindfulness book from the past year. -Barry Boyce, Lion's Roar
