Based on the popular "Am I Hungry?" mindful eating workshops, this book encourages you to dig deep inside to look at not only what you eat, but also why and how. Coming from a non-dieting perspective, physician May covers lots of ground, with information on nutrition and joyous eating, illustrations for building a fitness program that boosts metabolism and increases energy, suggestions for self-exploration and reflection, and healthy, nourishing recipes by the author's husband who is a professional spa chef.
