    Consider checking out Deepak Chopra’s book “What are you hungry for?” He gives a lot of howto. 🙂

    Hi MayraLuna,

    You have a great goal and congrats on your success so far!

    For eating, I got help from a nutritionist. It turns out not only what you eat, but when you eat what, is important.

    I’m in a gym, but you can do something on your own or with friends. Search for Tabata exercise. You can do a lot in less than a half hour per workout.

    Hello there,

    I have recently become very interested in Mindful Eating, myself. As I continue along my own Spiritual path, it has become more important to me to pay better attention to my health and well-being. I used to run 5 miles every day, eat a clean diet, and lost about 50 lbs. Over the course of the last two years, I have lost some dear family members and undid all of my hard work. To get myself back on track, I picked up three books that I am now reading: “The Zen of Eating” by Ronna Kabatznick, Ph.D., “Savor” by Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Lilian Cheung and a wonderful all vegetarian cookbook “A Taste of Heaven and Earth” by Bettina Vitell. I became a vegetarian a while back, but I’d say that it isn’t actually necessary to mindful eating. Mindful eating is more about recognizing why you are eating and paying attention to all sensations during your meals. “Savor” is a fantastic introduction to Buddhism, as well, though it is not a necessary part of your change, either. There just happens to be a lot to learn from Nhat Hanh outside of eating practice that will prove invaluable no matter where you are Spiritually. The best of luck to you. And remember to always be gentle with yourself, it is all happening as it should.

    Oh my!

    Thank you so much Matt, Big Blue and Nanette! I just got home from a lakeside jog, it was such a beautiful experience. I will look into those books, I am interested in Savor, that sounds like exactly what I am looking for. I am feeling extremely elated right now and this just topped it.

    <3 Namaste.

    I really recommend Paul Chek’s wonderful book “How to eat move and be healthy”. I bought it on amazon for $20 or so and it is very well explained. He also has a background in Spirituality so kudos to him, I believe it will help you tremendously.

    Good luck! 🙂
