My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½🍛🥞🍟

My thoughts: This book had a lot of good ideas, but overall it was a little boring. Although the exercises were slightly enjoyable I don't think mindful eating is something I would want to do all the time because I just want to enjoy my food I rarely mindlessly eat so I think I'm good.

Recommend to others: Maybe. This isn't for everyone but you may not be aware of the issue.

Very helpful in understanding overeating. Better than dieting. I do not think it would cure compulsive overeating, but it would be a general help in that case if the person is already abstinent.

There is regular meditation in each lesson.

I will probably listen to this audio course again.
