Mindful eating is one approach to dealing with food addiction that I have written about from time to time.  I even recommended one book on the topic.  Well I ran across a review of three books on the topic by Mandy Sutter.  You can locate the review on Wildmind’s Buddhist Meditation site.  Mandy is a former “yo-yo dieter” and a professional writer it seems from her website.  Not that there is anything wrong with being a professional writer of course.  I would think she knows a lot about books and books that can make a difference for food addicts. 

I am also a fan of Bodhipaksa who founded Wildmind although I am not a religious Buddhist myself.  As you may know a lot of Buddhist thought has made it over into the psychotherapy and medical world in the last 20 years for a very good reason.  It works!  Now in my experience Wildmind is not very “religious” in the way they teach…not that there is anything wrong with being a “religious” Buddhist.  If you want to learn more about meditation and what works in Buddhist thought Wildmind is a good place to check out as an opinion.   There are even folks who are Buddhists who are atheists per a recent book called Confession of a Buddhist Atheist by Stephen Batchelor.  I am also a fan of Stephen by the way.  Until next time.
