Mindful eating
Book Description
In a world where eating has become fraught with anxiety, guilt, and confusion, Jan Chozen Bays offers a transformative approach that returns us to our natural wisdom around food. This extensively revised edition of her influential guide reveals how mindfulness practice can heal our relationship with eating, addressing everything from everyday food struggles to serious eating disorders.
Drawing from nearly a decade of working with people seeking food freedom, Bays presents a compassionate path that moves beyond calorie counting and nutritional guilt. Her approach teaches readers to reconnect with their body's innate intelligence about what, when, and how much to eat. Through mindful awareness, eating transforms from a source of stress into an opportunity for genuine nourishment and joy.
The book guides readers through practical techniques for tuning into bodily wisdom, eating less while feeling truly satisfied, and recognizing unconscious patterns that drive food choices. Bays helps readers develop a kinder relationship with their eating struggles while uncovering what they're authentically hungry for beyond food itself.
Enhanced with inspiring examples from workshop participants and updated with new insights from her continued practice, this refined edition offers both newcomers and returning readers deeper access to mindful eating principles. The accompanying revised audio program provides guided exercises to support the journey toward food freedom and inner peace.
