Mastering Mindful Eating

October 15, 2020
Nutritionist Babb (Anti-Inflammatory Eating for a Happy, Healthy Brain, 2016) wants to help people improve their relationships with food, their bodies, and the way they eat. Readers of this guide to mindful eating will appreciate its accessible language and appealingly presented information, as well as its emphasis on education, self-awareness, and personal comfort. Babb focuses on allowing everyone to find the personal form of healthy that is safe and comfortable for them. Rather than idealizing a specific weight, Babb points out, readers should envision how they feel at a certain weight and how they feel maintaining that weight. She offers step-by-step instructions for practicing mindful eating and easy-to-follow guidance for reflecting on one's relationship with food. Recipes are both delicious and fun to read. Covering everything from the science behind what and how we eat to how to shop with gratitude, Babb's wonderful book reminds us why we enjoy eating in the first place.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
