Anyone who’s tried to lose weight through sheer will power knows how difficult, if not
impossible, it can be. In this practical and paradigm-shifting book, Dr. Jean Kristeller
presents a new alternative–a program for weight loss based on her successful
Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training Program. Instead of frustration,
depravation, backsliding, guilt, and a lack of results, The Joy of Half a Cookie provides
simple, proven ways to lose weight and keep it off, using what we now know about the
power of the mind.
The first book to bring mindfulness to the dieting space in a truly accessible and
mainstream way, The Joy of Half a Cookie will show readers how to lose weight while:
ditching willpower, guilt, and cravings
loving every bite, including favorite and previously “forbidden” foods
tapping into the body’s satiety signals
Written for anyone who wants to lose weight – not just the mediation and yoga crowd
– this accessible book delivers a proven way to find peace of mind and a healthier
relationship with food, for life.
