Summary of Lynn Rossy, PhD's The Mindfulness-Based Eating Solution

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The search for a better way to eat might be motivated by a desire to weigh less, have more energy, look younger, and be healthier. However, the road map you will find in the pages of this book is instruction in the skill of mindfulness and how to use it in the service of what you’ve been searching for. #2 The practice of mindfulness is the opposite of the practice of judgment, and it helps you break free from the belief that you need to be flawless. It allows you to relate to yourself and your body in a more positive way, which leads to healthier decisions. #3 The Eat for Life program is a mindfulness-based intuitive eating program that was the foundation of this book. It has been proven to be effective, and it helps you understand your inner signals about how to eat. #4 The first feature of the program is mindfulness. Mindfulness is the ultimate guide and ally in helping you make better food choices. It is about the power of awareness, and behavior change happens when you become aware of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
