As a physician, I am often critical about the way authors use research and sources and their conclusions. Dr. Linda Mintle is very fair in her assertions and gives enough data so it can be looked up, if desired. The book covers the whole range of eating, but is focused on people who are overweight or have eating problems. But even if you don't have those problems, there is a lot of good information about eating. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I really liked the concept of this book. And I liked what I read of it. And like so many diet changes I try to make I FULLY intended to read and try the things that she was saying. What I really like is the idea that she is trying to change the way you think about what and why you eat -and I know that when I attempt to be really aware of what and why I eat I generally eat better. I'm not sure what it's going to take to get me to that place where I try to make real changes but obviously I am not there yet because I haven't followed through. I do think that the idea is good and would recommend it to anyone trying to find a way to handle the mental aspects of eating for the wrong reasons. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. Press Pause Before You Eat by Dr. Linda Mintle is definitely different from my normal fare. I don't tend to read self-help books unless they're of the financial sort so I wasn't entirely comfortable with the tone of the book at first. In the end, it was quite readable and easy to apply to one's life. The book was sort of an interesting mix of ideas. I haven't read any diet books before, but most of them probably don't focus on God as much as this one did. It was insightful, but it ran a little long and did come right up to the brink of being preachy at some points. I'd recommend it to anyone who was looking to reprogram their eating habits and wasn't hostile to religion playing a role in that change. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. An interesting mix of advice, scientific research and anecdotes make this a very readable book. In addition, the pace of the book was good and it followed a logical progression that seemed to cover a range of topics that lead the reader to (over) eat. I also liked the "thoughts to watch out for" which made it more readable and gave the reader something to look for. That said, I ffound it to be condescending at times and made assumptions that may or may not be true of most readers. I did not find the Chirstian aspects of this book to be offensive or overbearing, though I am not religious myself. It might have made me pause before selecting this to read had I known of the author's leanings. I might recommend this to other readers but I'm not sure it's the most relevant on the topic sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
In a world that acts before it thinks, it's time to "press pause"... Press Pause Before You Eat and say goodbye to hurried and mindless eating. This ground-breaking book shines a light on the most overlooked area of our relationship with food: mindless and unintentional eating. It teaches readers to understand WHY they eat and provides practical, proven strategies to control eating. Diets treat symptoms; Press Pause Before You Eat deals with the root causes of unintentional eating and restores the joys of mindful eating. Busy schedules translate into eating on the run or skipping meals altogether. Life is not only filled with multitasking and hurried moments but on-the-go consumption. Eating becomes a thing to do while doing other things and all too often becomes a source of guilt and distress. The more stressed and busier people feel, the more food becomes a source of gratification, relief and a numbing agent, as well as a welcomed friend. In order to address the current obesity epidemic and struggles people have with their weight, a new approach is needed--one that addresses the emotional, relational, and spiritual side of the individual and his or her relationship to food. Dr. Linda Mintle, a licensed professional in clinical practice and a specialist in eating disorders, knows that unless people are coached to be intentional about their eating, they will continue to eat mindlessly and be part of the 90-95 percent of failed dieters. Therefore, Press Pause Before You Eat is a prescriptive guide for intentionally cultivating a mindful awareness of eating that attends to the body, soul, and spirit. Food is not our enemy; it is something to be enjoyed! Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

My one caveat, and it's a strong one, is that this book is heavily focused on a Christian theological perspective which isn't readily disclosed in the book notes or in the 'about the author' information. If you are not of the Christian belief system, then many, many pages of anecdotes and even a few strategies presented -- such as using forgiveness to release guilt and shame---will be worthless for you.This perspective was so integral to much of the book that I personally felt it disingenuous that this spiritual bias wasn't made obvious in the title, or at least in the liner notes. I skimmed many, and for most, I could find a way to adapt the ideas for clients using concepts which relate to personal fulfillment through creative expression, building meaning into your life, but others were so heavily laden with overt references to needing faith in in unknowable and giving yourself over to God's will, as to be utterly useless outside of the author's spiritual paradigm. I would also caution that for clients whose emotional difficulties and eating triggers lie in a past of abuse in the church, by spiritual leaders, or trauma related to evangelical pedagogues such as is seen in those who title themselves recovering evangelicals, this book could be detrimental to healing and should not be used or read without the help of a therapist-- I found several passages which would serve as triggers and cause the emotional response and correspondent eating behaviors this book seeks to address and heal.
