Why we cite it

Provides a clinical framework for applying mindfulness to eating behavior, organizing the approach around four foundations (mind, body, feelings, thoughts) and offering practical exercises and meditations. Directly relevant to the project because it operationalizes mindful eating as a set of learnable skills rather than willpower, supporting the project’s emphasis on awareness-based behavior change over restrictive dieting.
