More About This Book

Overview

Do you use food to comfort yourself when you're feeling depressed or stressed? Do you sometimes eat simply because you're bored? There are so many opportunities to snack and overeat mindlessly, it's no wonder that most diets fail. But mindless eating can lead to health problems, obesity, and a feeling that you've lost control.

Eating the Moment offers 141 mindfulness activities to help you listen to your body, understand why you're eating, and control your cravings if you're eating out of habit or because of your emotions. You won't find any start dates, dieting tips, or meal plans in this book, just practical and meaningful exercises to help you end mindless eating and begin nourishing yourself in healthy and fulfilling ways.

Mindfulness itself has been studied in recent years and found to effectively reduce symptoms of chronic pain, anxiety and panic, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and depression, as well as a range of other health and psychological problems. Recent research has shown mindfulness to be effective in helping binge eaters control their binging and to feel more in control of their eating.
In this book, psychologist Pavel Somov introduces techniques, exercises, and tools to help overeaters to slow down and become more aware of their food and food-related issues such as triggers for overeating. Readers can then use these techniques to get control over their overeating.
Topics include:

• Environmental triggers for eating
• The process of eating
• When and why we stop eating
• Cravings
• The sensual aspects of eating
• Emotional eating
• Searching for meaning in food
•Developing a philosophy of eating

Unlike most books about eating, Somov doesn't judge the reader for emotional eating, being triggered into eating, or eating out of boredom. He doesn't tell the reader how to eat; instead, he helps the reader become more aware of why he or she is eating at the moment, and helps the reader slow down, develop awareness of the experience of eating, and become more centered around his or her eating. Binge eaters and compulsive eaters usually report that they feel out of control of their eating. When they overeat, they may feel shame and guilt, leading them to restrict their eating, which makes them feel punished and unhappy, which then triggers them into overeating again. By developing habitual awareness and a playful attitude about the process of eating, a compulsive eater will find that his or her eating slows down, becoming less compulsive and dictated by external forces such as boredom, emotional pain, or habit. There are 141 specific exercises in this book to promote mindful eating, as well as brief discussions of why we eat and stop eating, mindfulness principles, finding meaning in food and the act of eating, and developing a "philosophy of eating."

    Inspiring and helpful

    As a long-term (30 + years) 'on-again, off-again' dieter, I have read more than a few self-help books on the subject of eating. "Eating The Moment" not only provides practical exercises, it is also fun to read! The feeling that you are having a conversation with the author makes it easy to take the suggested mindfulness exercises and apply them to your own situation, whether it be addictive behavior with food or simply that, like me, you really, REALLY like to eat! Thank you, Dr. Somov, for new insights into so many aspects of our relationship with the food we eat.

    A Great Read!!!

    Pavel G. Somov cuts to the core of people¿s unhealthy patterns of eating in his book, ¿Eating the Moment: 141 Mindful Practices to Overcome Overeating One Meal at a Time.¿ Dr. Somov¿s training as a counseling psychologist and experience in working with people trying to overcome addictive behaviors makes him a credible and authentic voice for those struggling to overcome their issues with eating. His easy-to-follow practices are based on the Buddhist principal of mindfulness and are not only clinically relevant, but are practically based and can be used as a foundation for any eating regime.

    Not impressed

    Most of the tips are to write everything down. Thats about 3/4 of all the rules. There are a few really good ones which I use going forward. But not worth reading the whole book.

    A Reader-Friendly Guide to Mindful Eating

    With its focus on mindfulness, Eating the Moment presents what is often a missing link in the battle to overcome eating issues. Dr. Somov writes about the important distinction between the typical ¿sprint¿ toward weight loss that is so common in dieting approaches and is so often a temporary fix, and a long-term change in lifestyle that results in lasting, healthful change. Somov¿s writing is smart, funny, and thoughtful. The activities are presented in an easily digestible format that is applicable to a wide range of readers ¿ from those who are interested in changing their eating habits, to those who are interested in understanding more about their relationship with food, to professionals who are looking for creative, effective ways to help their clients.

    An engaging, practical guide to mindful eating

    From the inviting cover to the meaningful ending, Eating the Moment is an engaging and very useful book. Somov's style is informative, respectful, and often playful- very enjoyable to read. His suggestions for awareness-building and habit-modifying exercises are diverse enough to provide useful tools for readers of all mindfulness skill-levels. This book is quite valuable, and you can learn a great deal from it, even before experimenting with the exercises. I enthusiastically recommend this book for anyone seeking to develop a more balanced, self-nurturing experience of eating.
