Savor

Mindful Eating, Mindful Life

De: Lilian Cheung, Thích Nhất Hạnh

Narrado por: Dan Woren

Common sense tells us that to lose weight, we must eat less and exercise more. But somehow we get stalled. We start on a weight-loss program with good intentions but cannot stay on track. Neither the countless fad diets, nor the annual spending of $50 billion on weight loss helps us feel better or lose weight.

Too many of us are in a cycle of shame and guilt. We spend countless hours worrying about what we ate or if we exercised enough, blaming ourselves for actions that we can't undo. We are stuck in the past and unable to live in the present - that moment in which we do have the power to make changes in our lives.

With Savor, world-renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Harvard nutritionist Dr. Lilian Cheung show us how to end our struggles with weight once and for all.

Offering practical tools, including personalized goal setting, a detailed nutrition guide, and a mindful living plan, the authors help us to uncover the roots of our habits and then guide us as we transform our actions. Savor teaches us how to easily adopt the practice of mindfulness and integrate it into eating, exercise, and all facets of our daily life, so that being conscious and present becomes a core part of our being.

It is the awareness of the present moment, the realization of why we do what we do, that enables us to stop feeling bad and start changing our behavior. Savor not only helps us achieve the healthy weight and well-being we seek, but it also brings to the surface the rich abundance of life available to us in every moment.

marvelous

very helpful

LOVED it! Specific details on how to do mindful eating. Well worth the time to listen! I am so glad I bought this one!

Life changing!

This production is an easy listen. Reminds me of the night time host on a call-in radio station.

The content is masterfully compiled. It has changed my life. In the 6 weeks since I have started this book and began to implement it's suggested practices I am down 24lbs! At 35, I feel better than I did at 25! The peace of mind delivered through the application of truly savoring my food is on par with the physical benefits!

I would definitely recommend this production to anyone struggling with weight loss or obesity!

Well wishes and healing thoughts to all readers of this review.

practically perfect in every way.

simple and effective if you want it to be. I love it. it has already helped me to love myself a little more every meal.

not what I thought

not what I thought it was going to be. a lot of repeat in the story.

Absorbing

A little redundant at times. However, plenty of much needed lessons and resources. I highly recommend!

Mindfulness is the focus

Changing your mindset and habits about nutrition and exercise. If you're new to mindfulness, this a good resource. If you're looking for new information on nutrition and exercise, this is not it. This is about being mindful of your eating, nutrition, habits, exercise and so forth. Unless you're a mindfulness expert, this book will be helpful in your mindfulness practice. And being mindful and aware of your old habits that led you to being overweight is a good start.

Great Book

As a follower of TNH I love this book. It is a good summary of mindfulness. I bought this book for my mother.
