MB-EAT PRACTICE can help you:
- Step out of the diet-deprivation cycle
- Reconnect with your body's inner cues of hunger and fullness
- Replace comfort calories with calm, one bite, one breath at a time
- Regain control of food in your life
MB-EAT is a small group approach to compulsive emotional eating. The program has evidenced positive outcomes in NIH and Duke University research. The program was developed by Jean Kristeller Ph.D., professor at Indiana State University and director of The Center for Mindful Eating www.tcme.org
Interventions that incorporate mindfulness meditation, with a goal of increasing general psychological and physiological self-regulation, are particularly well-suited to the complexity of behavioral, emotional and cognitive dysregulation observed in eating disorders. (Kristeller, Baer & Quillian-Wolever, 2006)
MB-EAT is taught in six sessions in a small group setting.
You will learn basic mindfulness meditation techniques and be guided in focused meditative exercises with food in a safe and supportive atmosphere.
You will learn to become more aware of your experience of hunger, fullness, and eating enjoyment or dissatisfaction.
You will learn to focus more on the quality of the eating experience as opposed to the quantity of the intake.
Lori Granger’s MB-EAT Program has been supported by Fresno Women’s Medical Group and Whole Foods in Fresno.
