Synopsis

In this book, Dr. Susan Albers, brings her unique approach to college students, their parents, and college staff.

Using the principles of mindfulness, Dr. Albers presents a guide to healthy eating and self acceptance that will help readers navigate the weight obsessed, diet crazed, high pressured, fast food saturated college environment, establishing patterns of eating that will form the groundwork for a healthier life well beyond college.

More than a new diet book or collection of superficial self-affirmations, this book gets at issues such as the importance of making informed choices and the value of self acceptance and good health.

Dr. Albers does a wonderful job of guiding college students to a healthier life style and positive self esteem. I wish this book had been available when I was a college student." — Beth Shaw, founder and president of YogaFit Inc. What the professionals are saying "Dr. Albers has done a brilliant job targeting both obvious and subtle issues specific to college life and outlining ways to recognize, prepare for, and overcome mindless overeating pitfalls. This vitally important work should be required reading for every student stepping onto a college campus!" — Denise Lamothe, Psy.D., HHD, author of The Taming of the Chew: A Holistic Guide to Stopping Compulsive Eating "Written in an accessible and practical manner, readers learn life lessons about their relationship with food, their bodies, and their spirit that will last long after their final semester ends. Mindful Eating 101 should be required reading for students of all ages!" — Kathleen Burns Kingsbury, LMHC, co-author, Weight Wisdom: Affirmations to Free You from Food and Body Concerns "Susan Albers’s incredibly thoughtful book reminds us that self-care and self-love are necessary tools in our everyday lives. She guides us gently to a place of greater understanding and ignites in readers a sense of true empowerment."

— Jessica Weiner, author of Do I Look Fat in This? and A Very Hungry Girl What the students are saying "Mindful Eating 101 is an accessible guide to lifetime eating that speaks to our generation as it approaches eating holistically—through the mind and soul. This is not just another self-help book; it’s a work that truly wants to better women’s approaches to eating in college and forevermore."

— Meg Lyons, Colgate University senior "Dr. Albers captures the everyday life of the average student in a funny and insightful way. The book is sort of self-help-meets-the-diet-world; it forces us to look at food and ‘mindful eating’ as part of the overall college experience, not merely as an accessory to it." — Katie Goldstein, University of Vermont sophomore
