Mindful Eating
Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training has been developed over the
past decade by Jean L. Kristeller, Ph.D., Indiana State University; C.
Brendan Hallett
Psy.D., Department of Psychology, Indiana State University; Ruth A.
Baer, Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky; Ruth
Quillian-Wolever, Center for Integrative Medicine, Duke University.
Integrating elements from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR),
cognitive behavioral therapy, and guided eating meditations, the program
draws on both traditional mindfulness meditation techniques and guided
meditation to address issues pertaining to weight, shape, and
eating-regulated behaviors like appetite and satiety. The field of study
also includes other perspectives on dysfunctional eating patterns,
notably: the chronic dieting model, affect regulation models, and the
escape model. For decades, nutritionists, behaviorists, and other
scientists have studied this phenomenon. Our goal is to integrate all of
their findings into a practical system of daily behavioral modification
that anyone can practice to achieve a healthy, grounded relationship to
food and eating and thus accomplish their weight loss and optimum
health maintenance goals.
