One Week Until Appearance on Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy: Seven Days to More Mindful Eating and a Healthier Lifestyle

This Blog site is being created specifically so that listeners to popular radio show Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy hosted by Lee Kantor and Dr. Adam Shafran, and visitors to The Mindful Parent website can observe my journal entries for the week leading up to my appearance on the show. The show's topic is Mindful Eating and will air Monday May 1, 2006 at 8:00 p.m. on AM 1620 or live on Radio Sandy Springs.

On the show, we will explore what mindful eating is and ways to cultivate this contempative approach to eating and drinking. For parents and other child-care givers, I will also share mindful parenting techniques that can encourage mindful eating.

In this blog, I will introduce the basic building blocks for developing a mindful eating practice. Each day I will share a new practice technique. At the same time, I will make note of events thoughout the day and post journal entries each evening, tying together theory and practice.

Bon Appetite.
