About book Achtsam Essen. Vergiss Alle Diäten Und Entdecke Die Weisheit Deines Körpers (2009)
I've read other authors on this subject, and they make many of the same points and recommendations, but somehow Dr. Bays' style and choice of emphases work best for me. She is less "woo-woo" than some others who approach the topic; she is an MD and nicely blends the scientific with the psychological and spiritual. I read the book straight through before implementing any of the recommendations; I haven't yet listened to the accompanying CD. After a couple of days of making my best effort at mindful eating, I feel encouraged about establishing a healthier relationship with food. I have long counted calories and felt guilty about eating too much and too fast. I'm going to give this my best shot, and this book inspires me to do that. Coming from a belief system that values mindfulness as the key to acceptance and change, I found the concept of mindful eating attractive. Instead of focusing on the qualities of healthy or non-healthy foods, the author encourages becoming in tune with what the body needs and wants. The problem is not the food per say but our relationship to it. The goal is become mindful so as to approach food with a thinking mind and a feeling hearthe book engages mindfulness by appreciating and valuing the seven types of hunger we feel instead of controlling them: eye hunger, nose hunger, mouth hunger, stomach hunger, cellular hunger, mind hunger and heart hunger.Life lessons include: It's okay to be empty. Desires are inexhaustible and impermanent. Eating can be a sacred activity. And last be not least: Awareness is the key to change.
