Instant Help Book for Teens

by Susan Albers

Turn mindless eating habits into mindful eating habits! In this breakthrough workbook, Susan Albers—author of Eating Mindfully and the New York Times bestseller, Eat Q—offers powerful mindfulness-based activities and skills to help you stop overeating. Do you zone out while eating? You’re not alone! It’s easy to polish off a bag of chips or a giant bowl of popcorn while marathon-streaming your favorite TV show. And while indulging here and there certainly won’t hurt you, mindless eating can become a harmful habit in the long run—leading to obesity, health problems, and negative body image. So, how can you start making healthier food choices? Using the same highly effective approach as the breakthrough book Eating Mindfully , The Eating Mindfully Workbook for Teens will show you how to deal with the day-to-day challenges of making healthy decisions about food. Instead of resorting to fad diets, you’ll learn how to avoid overeating in the first place, be more aware of your body, and really enjoy meals—instead of just popping food in your mouth without thinking. It’s not easy to make smart food choices in our fast-paced, fast food culture. This workbook can help guide you, one bite at a time. Teens need mental health resources more than ever. With over 1.2 million copies sold worldwide,  Instant Help Books for teens are engaging, proven-effective, and recommended by therapists.

This is a great book on mindful eating! I definitely appreciated some of the tips as a 20-something adult, and I know I would have appreciated it as a teen or beginning college student. The author's experience working with teens shows in the writing. She knows her audience. While she does include examples from both male and female teens (and could benefit both genders), the book is definitely geared toward a more female audience.

The book is broken down into four sections: mindful eating, mood, mindset, and motivation. She addresses strategies for eating in the moment, gauging and being aware of hunger, emotional eating and strategies to cope with it, how mindset can effect eating and how to rephrase thinking positively, and more. Everything is broken down into easy, doable exercises. While I personally found the most value in the first two sections, I can see how the latter two will benefit some teens.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone, adult or teen alike, who is interested in a simple, easy to understand way to get better at mindful eating, gauging hunger, and/or avoiding emotional eating.

I received a digital ARC of this book via Netgalley.

This is a rather useless book, in my opinion! It reminded me terribly of a weight-loss program that my health insurance used to peddle several years ago. There was a lady who kept droning on about "true thins". Well... this is about as useful as that nonsense.

I should have been tipped off my the end of its subtitle "An Instant Help Book for Teens". Nothing is a panacea.

This book has a wealth of information on being more conscious and aware of not only what you’re eating but why, ie physical hunger as opposed to Emotional hunger, Energy Boosters vs. Energy Drainers. The importance of teens being able to read and understand food labels. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I was a bit sceptical about whether I'd like this book or not. But it was full of useful information. I work with teens both in my paid role and voluntarily so this will come in very handy as a resource. After sending this in I am going to order a couple of copies. The information is presented in small manageable chunks with objectives to achieve over a course of days. It helps you turn negative thinking around and suggests what you should think instead - basically turn every situation into a positive. I for one, am going to be adopting a few of these techniques as I know I don't always allow myself enough 'me' /'mindfulness' time
