Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think Audiobook

" Very informative book on the psychology of food and eating. "

" This is NOT a diet book but a way of looking at food and the food industry differently. It makes you think about your own eating habits and patterns in a different light! "

" The narrator's voice grated on my nerves (plus, must he pronounce "culinary" with a long u?), but I reluctantly admit that he offered lots of useful tips and interesting insight. "

" This was a fascinating book on the behavoiral psychology of food habits. Most of the things I read seemed so obvious, but only after someone brings them to your attention. "

" Awesome! Loved the research and experiments. Read it. I'm fat because I don't think. "

" Read this book for class, loved it! Read it all through before I had to! "

" a must read for us porky western folk..... "

" Everyone should read this book! "

" The studies and the results they yielded were interesting to to read, and the other data also good. The hands-on suggestions were a bit flat. On the other hand, it's hard to make basic common sense as interesting as some fad diet. "

" Makes you think about how and what you decide to eat, even when you aren't thinking about it. "

" This book describes the unconscious ways in which our environment encourages us to eat more - and how you can turn those tendencies on their head, to help you eat better. I found it fascinating and a very easy read. "

" I'm listening to this on audio. It's not a diet book but rather a bunch of studies on eating done by various universities with some anectdotes and insight thrown in. "

" I decided that there were a few small things I could do to help change my habits enough to lose instead of gain weight....now all I need is the discipline to be mindful of my changes! "

" very lightly written but kind of like Freakonomics of obesity. no surprises. "

" I listened to this book on tape in the car rides to and from Cheyenne. Fascinating how our minds work and the studies reported on were really interesting. "

" It's a fascinating, hilarious book on food marketing! "

" Pretty superb, I must say. "

" Obviously written by a psychologist, not a sociologist. Attempts to analyze eating habits in a group setting fall short and wider social and structural factors are never accounted for; leaving a colorblind, class-free analysis that can only be applied so far. Skim for the general idea then move on. "

" Fabulous! Everyone should read this book. Thin tome, easy to read styleev, no wonky science that's hard to understand...Best lifestyle change book on the nutrition front. "

" Interesting read. If you like the psychology behind food and eating pick this book up. You'll find yourself quoting it to others. Thanks Alicen for sharing. "

" Very interesting results from studies done by a "food psychologist." All Americans should read this.:) Great tips and fun to read! "

" Interesting studies shared throughout the book. "

" I thought this was an interesting book! "

" It really does explain a lot. It had some great information that helped me change my eating habits, at least for a little while! "

" Luckily, this was a quick, easy read because the more I read, the more I ate. "

" Food for thought, will have to consider my three changes for the month & work on the little things. "

" This was a fascinating book. All about the psychology of eating and how our environment and marketing changes our perceptions. Not a diet book, but good tips for being more mindful and aware. "

" Very interesting. Most of these ideas/concepts seem like common sense and I had heard them before. But reading the actual studies was kind of fascinating. <br/>A very simple, easy-to-read book. "

" Interesting. His work centers around adjusting the things around food (room, menu, size, plate, packaging, etc) to see how people respond and how much of this very subtle tweaking can &quot;trick&quot; us into eating more. I think eating a little more conscientiously would be good for everyone. "

" As a Registered Dietitian this book really was nothing completely new, but really puts eating and diet into perspective. I am against &quot;dieting&quot; so this book really was a great new take on why we shouldn't diet and why we eat the things we do. Very interesting and not at all boring. "

" Great book! This is a quick read and very interesting. I was sad when I realized I came to the end of the book, I wanted to read more! "

" A fascinating look at the environmental factors that affect how much we eat and what we can do about it. There is a lot of information packed into this short book, so I will probably read it again and take notes this time. "

" An easy read and very interesting. Who would have thought that do much goes into what we eat! "

" Well written and full of fun facts. Wish the author could sit next to me and tell me when I am mindless eating. Working on strategies and trying to be more mindful about what I'm eating. "
