“The Joy of Half a Cookie: Using Mindfulness to Lose Weight and End the Struggle with Food" is based on the principles and practices of the Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Treatment (MB-EAT) program in a way that is understandable for people with a range of experience with mindfulness. MB-EAT is based on well-recognized principles of food intake regulation and self-regulation theory, linked to the wisdom of mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches. Substantial research shows that many individuals inadequately attend to physical signals related to hunger and satiety, and are excessively sensitive to other eating triggers. The MB-EAT program is designed to cultivate both “inner wisdom” (greater use of awareness of hunger, fullness, and taste, and other triggers in making food choices) and “outer wisdom” (more personally satisfying and flexible use of nutritional guidelines to manage food choices and quantity). This program will highlight the core practices and related theory that help individuals better engage both their "inner wisdom" and "outer wisdom," as presented in “The Joy of Half a Cookie,” and briefly touch on the evidence from the multiple NIH-funded randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on MB-EAT with people with a range of eating issues, that have shown significant improvement in eating and emotional regulation.


Participants will:
1. Identify the core elements of "inner wisdom" involved in mindful eating.
2. Identify the core elements of "outer wisdom" involved in mindful eating.
3. Describe the conceptual basis for using these elements in MB-EAT.
