Kate Wicker, author of Weightless: Making Peace with Your Body<\/em>, had this to say about Cravings<\/em> at her blog today, the fifth stop on the “Pray, Love, Then Eat” blog tour<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I had the honor of reading an advanced copy of Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God<\/em><\/a> by Mary De Turris Poust, which I highly recommend. It\u2019s an uplifting read for anyone who has struggled with their weight or food and longs for freedom from obsessing over every inch of flesh. In her meaty (lots of food for thought here!) and excellent book, Poust devotes an entire chapter to the dangers of multitask eating and why it\u2019s important to develop a more mindful approach to meals.”<\/p>\n

Kate focuses on “Multitasking, Mindfulness, and Eating” in her insightful post, so be sure to head to her blog and read what she has to say. Here’s another snippet:<\/p>\n

A growing body of research is pointing out the ill effects of multitasking \u2013 how it leaves us feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled. The technology that allows us to download a song while saying \u201chi\u201d to a friend on Facebook as the television flickers in the distance and a new text on our Smartphone chirps at us is shaping our minds to process information rather than to interpret it, understand it, or even remember it. The same is true with our eating and our food. If we don\u2019t sit down and slow down our eating so that we can fully taste the the food and enjoy the experience, then we\u2019re just digesting it. Even if there are good nutrients in what we\u2019re eating, even if we don\u2019t polish off the entire sleeve of cookies, it\u2019s still as if we\u2019re still consuming empty calories. Eating should not be joyless, guilt-inducing, robotic, or just another thing we do while driving or texting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
