Common sense tells us that to lose weight, we must eat less and exercise more. But somehow we get stalled. We start on a weight-loss program with good intentions but cannot stay on track. Neither the countless fad diets, nor the annual spending of $50 billion on weight loss helps us feel better or lose weight.
Too many of us are in a cycle of shame and guilt. We spend countless hours worrying about what we ate or if we exercised enough, blaming ourselves for actions that we can't undo. We are stuck in the past and unable to live in the present—that moment in which we do have the power to make changes in our lives.
With Savor, world-renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Harvard nutritionist Dr. Lilian Cheung show us how to end our struggles with weight once and for all.
Offering practical tools, including personalized goal setting, a detailed nutrition guide, and a mindful living plan, the authors help us to uncover the roots of our habits and then guide us as we transform our actions. Savor teaches us how to easily adopt the practice of mindfulness and integrate it into eating, exercise, and all facets of our daily life, so that being conscious and present becomes a core part of our being.
It is the awareness of the present moment, the realization of why we do what we do, that enables us to stop feeling bad and start changing our behavior. Savor not only helps us achieve the healthy weight and well-being we seek, but it also brings to the surface the rich abundance of life available to us in every moment.

Quotes

    Loving yourself is the basis for loving other people.
  • Liza Borisovahas quoted7 years ago
    Walking, yoga, mindfulness meditation, singing along with your MP3 player, gardening, taking an herb-scented bath, having a phone conversation with a friend—these are just some of the many activities you can choose to help ease stress and provide a food-free alternative for channeling your emotions.
  • Liza Borisovahas quoted7 years ago
    IF YOU DO SNACK IN THE EVENING, CHOOSE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. If you mindfully decide to answer your body’s call for nighttime munchies, do it with fresh vegetables or fruits. They come packed with fiber, they fill you up quickly, and most don’t have that many calories.
