Drawing on recent research and integrating her experiences as a physician and meditation teacher, Dr. Jan Bays offers a wonderfully clear presentation of what mindfulness is and how it can help with food issues. Mindful eating is an approach that involves bringing one's full attention to the process of eating—to all the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. Whether you are overweight, suffer from an eating disorder, or just want to get more out of life, this book offers a simple tool that can make a remarkable difference. In this book, you'll learn how to: • Tune into your body's own wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat • Eat less while feeling fully satisfied • Identify your habits and patterns with food • Develop a more compassionate attitude toward your struggles with eating • Discover what you're really hungry for Mindful Eating also includes a 75-minute audio CD containing guided exercises led by the author. Review: No More Squat and Gobble - I went through a diet program and profited by losing about fifty pounds. I learned quite a bit in the program (HMR, if you're interested). Many good books were mentioned: Ones on eating stuff with lots of hidden water that fill you up or weary your jaws or trick you visually. Ones where you can choose to eat all of this (lots) or eat this (tiny-portion with a stratospheric calorie count). Mindful Eating offers ideas that range from the humorous to the insightful. My deep love of the terse, laconic, brief prompt me to want to stop here..but afterthoughts need be addressed: First, I noticed that one of the reviewers dismissed Mindful Eating as too New Age for her tastes. The label fits (and for her the judgment stands) but if you are not put off by the title, the book merits a read. Second if you like the idea of being mindful in many ways get Thich Nhat Hanh's Present Moment, Wonderful Moment where he sketches out forty-seven activities we do everyday that can be made mindful. Third, the only activity not mentioned in Mindful Eating is eating with other human beings and talking to them which would technically be non-mindful but which would force us to eat more slowly and thus give our guts a chance tell our brains we are full. Review: amazing find - I came upon this book accidentally in the new cook book section at the Carnegie library. I took a glance and the contents seemed interesting. So on my driving home, I listened to the guided mindfulness exercises CD that came with the book. This was not what I expected--my way home felt like a transformed journey to self discovery: the exercisers were simple, practical; the voice soothing; the effect, however, was profound. I was intrigued by how was it possible that our body would know the foods that we need at a particular point in time? I eagerly plunged into the book and read all about the seven kinds of hungers. I was very pleased for the insight I gained from the reading. This book inspires. The writing is lucid and thoughtful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #339,738 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #274 in Self-Help for Eating Disorders & Body Image Issues (Books) #334 in Zen Spirituality #1,804 in Other Diet Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 279 Reviews | ## Images ![Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food (Includes CD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816kqF67TzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No More Squat and Gobble *by R***N on June 19, 2014* I went through a diet program and profited by losing about fifty pounds.

I took a glance and the contents seemed interesting. So on my driving home, I listened to the guided mindfulness exercises CD that came with the book.

She shares scientific data and yet writes in a meditative style. Since eating is such a fundamental part of our living, bringing mindfulness to this daily function on average of three times a day affects your life generally. In Bays' words: "Awareness is the key. Our desire to be awake, to see clearly how our blind spots make us and others suffer, has to be stronger than our desire to live on automatic pilot. It's not a simple, once-made-always-kept decision. It's a decision we will face again and again." Bays doesn't present diets but instead gives simple practices which awaken awareness to the various hungers we experience (eye, nose, mouth, stomach, cellular, mind and heart), and to our particular habits and patterns with food. Then she presents guidelines for staying awake to our eating. These all allow needed change to take place naturally. I have found this book to be extremely helpful and I highly recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food (Includes CD) - Mindful Eating on the Go: Practices for Eating with Awareness, Wherever You Are - Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food (Revised Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/246176-mindful-eating-a-guide-to-rediscovering-a-healthy-and-joyful](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/246176-mindful-eating-a-guide-to-rediscovering-a-healthy-and-joyful) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
