Mindful Eating

A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food

By: Jan Chozen Bays, Jon Kabat-Zinn - introduction

Narrated by: Jan Chozen Bays, Kaleo Griffith

The art of mindfulness can transform our struggles with food--and renew our sense of pleasure, appreciation, and satisfaction with eating. Drawing on recent research and integrating her experiences as a physician and meditation teacher, Dr. Jan Bays offers a wonderfully clear presentation of what mindfulness is and how it can help with food issues.

Mindful eating is an approach that involves bringing one's full attention to the process of eating--to all the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. 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 make a remarkable difference.

In this audiobook, you'll learn 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

Great ideas to help a personal journey with Mindful Eating

I’m going to listen to this a few times until Mindful Eating becomes a practice for my everyday life. My therapist recommended this book.

Life changing

Mindful practices for every day, love love this book and listen to it often for a refresher. Helped me better understand and put into practice mindfulness and meditation.

Good stuff

I found this book very insightful and it fit right in to my mindfulness practices. The author does read slowly, but on 1.5x speed, it was perfect. I appreciated the soothing quality, almost like the book itself is a meditation. I wish the exercises were easier to mark, because I wasn’t able to practice them while listening, and not all of them are available at Shambhala. I’m considering buying a hard copy or Kindle édition in addition so I can review parts I especially found insightful.

Much needed wisdom to return to us

The author was so intentional about sharing this gem with us. So helpful. I took notes and posted them in my kitchen. 🫁

Best eating book

I’ve struggled with an eating disorder for years. This book has helped me more than any book, therapist, or treatment. I read it often.
