Eat to Love
Eat to Love: A Mindful Guide to Transforming Your Relationship With Food, Body and Life | Jenna Hollenstein
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Eat to Love is a joyful, non-diet approach to mindfulness, intuitive eating, and falling in love with the body you live in. In Eat to Love, nutritionist Jenna Hollenstein leads a spiritual revolution against pervasive attitudes towards food and dieting and demonstrates how to free your mind from the fear, frustration, and shame often associated with eating. Through a series of revelatory exercises, along with simple instructions for time-proven mindfulness and meditation techniques, readers learn to identify prejudices around eating and reset their relationships with food. Eat to Love is not a diet book, not a "clean eating" manual, and not a guide to "being your best self." Rather, it is a liberating path to sanity, and to loving the body you have right now. Since early childhood, many people have heard that something is wrong with their body: with the way it looks, the way it feels and the food it craves. This diet culture--surrounding us in the form of media, fashion, food trends, and even messages from friends and family--tells us that the only way to be happy is to be thin and to rigidly follow the latest eating dogma. Eat to Love challenges this insidious, pervasive messaging and establishes an exciting, liberating and enriching set of ideals.

An important book that applies Buddhist principles to an intuitive eating approach while being practical and compassionate. A strong criticism of diet culture and "magical eating" that many should find valuable. I feel like I will be consulting this book often and highly recommend the book.
