Our modern world presents a complex relationship with food. We are bombarded with conflicting messages from diet culture, marketing campaigns, and social media, often leaving us feeling confused, guilty, and disconnected from our bodies' natural signals. Many of us struggle with emotional eating, using food to cope with stress, boredom, or other difficult emotions.

This cycle can be exhausting and ultimately detrimental to both our physical and mental well-being. Simultaneously, we are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of our food choices, the unsustainable practices within our food systems, and the need for greater responsibility.

This book offers a transformative approach, merging the principles of mindful eating with the practices of sustainable nutrition. Mindful eating allows us to reconnect with our bodies and develop a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food, free from the restrictions and judgments of diet culture. This involves learning to pay attention to our hunger and fullness cues, savoring each bite, and eating without distractions.

Alongside mindful eating, we will explore how to make sustainable food choices that are beneficial for both your health and the environment. This includes reducing food waste, supporting local farmers, choosing seasonal produce, and incorporating more plant-based options into your diet.

By understanding the emotional, physical and environmental aspects of our relationship with food, you’ll learn to create a balanced, sustainable and compassionate approach to nutrition, leading to improved physical health, emotional wellbeing, and a positive impact on the planet.
