The Self-Compassion Diet: Guided Practices to Lose Weight with Loving-Kindness by Jean Fain [Audiobook]
The secret to sustainable weight loss isn't counting calories or depriving yourself at the dinner table. Jean Fain tells us it's about cultivating awareness and self-acceptance wherever you are. With The Self-Compassion Diet, this Harvard Medical School-affiliated psychotherapist prescribes a practical program for transforming the way you think and feel about food and your whole self -- a shift that, paradoxically, inspires physical change.
Combining loving-kindness, self-hypnosis, and other winning weight-loss strategies, she shares eleven guided meditations and trance sessions that have helped her clients change for good, including:
1) Satisfaction: a practice for appreciating the everyday activity of eating, and learning to trust your body's signals that it's nourished
2) Gradual change: a guided visualization for developing mindful eating habits
3) Wise: a meditation for getting to know the diet coach who knows you best -- your compassionate "inner advisor."
"Most dieters try to `kill cravings' and break habits with self-discipline," teaches Fain. "Self-kindness can help quiet the shame that traditional diets instill, and establish a harmonious relationship with food."
Here is a treasury of heart-opening mind-body practices for improving the way you live, breathe, and eat.
