The Enlightened Diet: Seven Weight-loss Solutions That Nourish Body, Mind, and Soul is a holistic approach to weight loss that incorporates the ancient wisdom of philosophies like Buddhism, Kabalism and Hinduism into its plan.
Created by health researchers Deborah Kesten and Larry Scherwitz, the authors identify seven eating styles such as the Emotional Eater, the Food Fretter, The Task Snacker that lead to overeating and offer effective strategies for overcoming them. The authors also show how these distincy eating styles lead to the chronic health conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease that are plaguing this country.
The book discourages counting calories or restricting foods and instead offers you to look at the nutrient profile as well as the intangible ingredients like emotions, gratitude, and compassion that shape your eating habits and ultimately lead you to a healthier lifestyle. Practices such as meditation, introspective questionnaires, cooking with cooking clubs are some of the practical strategies that you are encouraged to try in The Enlightened Diet.
