This is basically how I eat, lots of good info, links to studies and journal articles, some introductory Buddhism as well. ( ) First off, I'd like to thank Running Press for choosing me when they had the giveaway for this book. I really enjoyed this book, not only the content, but the handy size and it wasn't too long. I don't have the patience or ability to read 700 page books any longer. I have been studying and considering intermittant fasting for a while now and this book is fairly generous with it. You start with a 12 hour fast, then end with a 9 hour one. I like the parts on meditation as well. I do not believe in reincarnation, so those bits were of no great interest. I am not a Buddhist but I do believe it has some principles that can be helpful no matter which religion you belong to. I highly recommend this book ! A no reviews | add a review
There's a lot you probably don't know about the Buddha. For one, the real Buddha was thin. And before he became the "Enlightened One," he was a pampered prince named Siddhartha. He tried starving himself in his quest for inner peace, but found that extremes brought him no closer to enlightenment. Instead, he sought a "middle way" between unhealthy overindulgence and unrealistic abstinence. The instructions he gave his monks about eating, more than 2,500 years ago, were surprisingly simple. Fast forward to today. Cutting-edge scientific research tells us something Buddha knew all along: it's not what you eat, but when you eat that's most important. You don't need to follow the latest fads or give up your favorite foods. You just need to remember a few guidelines that Buddha provided-guidelines that, believe it or not, will help you lose weight, feel better, and stop obsessing about food. Sure, Buddha lived before the age of cronuts, but his wisdom and teachings endure, providing us with a sane, mindful approach to eating.With chapters that ponder questions like "What would Buddha drink?" and "Did Buddha do Crossfit?" Buddha's Diet offers both an attainable and sustainable strategy for achieving weight-loss nirvana. No library descriptions found. |
