REVIEW: "Mindful Eating" by Jan Chozen Bays
TITLE: "Mindful Eating"
AUTHOR: Jan Chozen Bays, M.D.
DIETY?: no
IE?: yes
MY RATING: 4****
Those who know me know that I love anything to do with the “intuitive eating” method. This book was all about that, even though it calls it by its other name, “mindful eating“.
This book is based on a lot of Buddhist principles and practices, as the author lives in a monastery and practices Buddhism. But, a lot of it is really just common sense based off of how our bodies were made to function. It talks about slowing down while eating, not eating amidst distractions, waiting until you’re hungry before eating, and stopping BEFORE you’re “full”. All good things!
Recommended.

I cannot make any promises, as I often rely heavily on my local library for the books I read. If they don't have it, I probably can't read and review it. But, I will do my best!
Thank you!
