The Zen of Eating

When it comes to weight loss the emphasis today is shifting away from fad diets and compulsive workouts toward sane sensible techniques that incorporate both the mind and the body. This is the first book to apply the 2500-year-old principles of Zen Buddhism to the modern struggle with the vicious cycle of dieting losing and regaining weight. From a Buddhist perspective overeating is a disorder of desire. This book will teach readers how to find freedom from eating problems and the tyranny of desire that triggers them. Filled with concrete practical exercises and the wisdom of the ages The Zen of Eating provides at last an alternative to ineffective diet programs products and pills.
