Publisher's summary

Want to lose weight using the power of your mind? Then, keep reading.

Have you ever wondered why fad diets don't work?

Does the pressure of your body size get to you?

Does losing weight, getting shredded and lean, or burning fat frustrate you?

Clearly, after all the diets, extensive exercise, running, cycling, jogging hasn't worked. You've tried the fasting fads. Now, perhaps, it's time to understand your relationship to food.

But can mindful eating end emotional binging or overeating? What's the science on this?

"Mindfulness-based approaches appear most effective in addressing binge eating, emotional eating... Mindfulness-based approaches may prevent weight gain... Encouraging a mindful eating approach would seem to be a positive message to be included in general weight management advice to the public." (Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2017)

"[P]eople with higher levels of body mass index have less mindful eating... People demonstrating lower levels of mindful eating present more episodes of uncontrolled eating habits and binge eating... it was found that people with poor levels of mindful eating had higher levels of uncontrolled eating and in some cases binge eating.

In conclusion, mindful eating is related to body mass index, binge eating, anxiety and negative affect and it is important to consider it because it can be useful to promote healthy eating and to prevent obesity." Science Direct (Journal of Behavior, Health & Social Issues - November 2016)

I can’t exaggerate how awful this book is.

Where to begin? The first 4 chapters don’t really address mindful eating. They discuss things such as the effect of nutrition on fetuses and newborns.
Next, there is no logic to this narrative. The author focuses on the placebo effect, stating that medical professionals often ignore this phenomenon. Within a few pages, the author is making the opposite point, stating that there are huge true medical effects of medications and foods, and you should consult your physician before changing your diet.
Finally, the writing is technically poor, with sentence fragments, poor grammar, and unclear thoughts. I purchased the audiobook, and the monotone narrator sounds as if he’s reading run-on lists with no clear headings, beginnings, or endings of each line.
My advice: have a point before writing.

Lulled to sleep

Content may be just fine; I wouldn't know because the narrator's voice nearly lulled me to sleep. It's generally the worst narration I've ever heard. One star is at least one too many.

Horrible Narration

The narrator should do sleep stories only. Loads of nutrition information but nothing personal to relate to and nothing motivating or encouraging. Just nutritional info. I already know what to and what not to eat.
