The Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training is a program designed to assist people in overcoming Binge Eating Disorder, compulsive overeating and weight loss challenges. It is a twelve-week course developed by Dr. Jean Kristeller and colleagues that capitalizes on the clinical value of mindfulness and meditation for problematic eating behavior. MB-EAT is informed by Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and by the empirical literature on meditation, and food intake regulation, obesity and eating disorders.
The MB-EAT curriculum integrates mindfulness meditation practices with cognitive-behavioral strategies to support clients’ management of disordered eating and weight loss concerns. Evidence to date supports the value of MB-EAT in decreasing binge episodes, improving one's sense of self-control with regard to eating, and diminishing depressive symptoms. The MB-EAT helps participants recreate a new relationship with food and actually brings the enjoyment of eating back to the process instead of using deprivation and restriction through dieting! By bringing mindfulness and awareness to mood states, distorted or reactive thinking patterns, and disturbed awareness of normal physiological cues (specifically satiety and hunger), and promoting vital lifestyle modifications for a healthy life, clients come to manage these issues more effectively without having to turn to food for comfort.
In a completed NIH-funded trial, MB-EAT was shown to be effective in treating binge eating disorder, and decreasing depression, with weight loss directly related to the amount of mindfulness practice reported by participants. The program is currently under investigation in a second NIH-funded trial with a primary focus on weight loss in individuals with a wide range of eating issues.
Maria Rippo is a certified facilitator of the MB-EAT program and will be offering a 12 week session beginning Monday November 13 at 6 - 8pm Pacific Standard Time and running through December 4. This is the first 4 weeks of the program which will give participants tools to navigate the holidays. The program will commence again on January 8 and ending on February 18. Participants may join the program locally at my office in Bothell or online via Zoom video conferencing.
