Meal by Meal: 365 Daily Meditations for Finding Balance Through

This book has helped me much in my quest for mindful eating. For a few months I read it every day and noticed positive changes in my thoughts, habits, and behaviors. I felt more balanced and content. Though I fell out of reading it for a month and slipped back to my old ways, I am back at it again, feeling the same positive changes. After a year or two of reading one page each day, this book can make the intellectual changes necessary for a healthier life, compassion for yourself, and an understanding of how you need to think in order to be happy, content, and healthy.

I thought that there would be more substantive than it turned out to be. Offers a series of alternative actions, foods, herbs, etc. to improve the quality of your life. Because of a complicated medical situation, I cannot use the tips.

I might not call this book meal by meal but I would call it day by day. I've been using it for about a month now as a guide for mindful eating. Some of the ideas are things I do, some of them are easy for me to implement, and some of them are a challenge. I like the idea of focusing on eating rather than dieting and it appears to be helping me make more concious choices about how I approach food.

Donald Altman's teaching is simple and profound, all you need is mindfully to pay respect to the sensuousness of your eating, you'll enjoy it more and eat less. The many suggestions to meditation in the book are deeply inspiring. The key word is to be fully in the present when you're eating. This book is very helpful.

Donald Altman's daily meditations are exceedingly inspirational and provide some much needed insight for my ongoing battle with anorexia. I peruse each entry before dinner and ponder its message while eating. The book is well crafted and easy to comprehend. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED reading!
