Most of us have heard of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and of course IQ. Well, Eat.Q. is concept that blends your knowledge of nutrition (what you know you should do) with mindfulness and EI skills in order to help you make healthy choices and lose weight (if that is your goal). Eat.Q. is a technique which asks you to "press the pause button" before you eat anything and make a quick assessment as follows: first, identify how you are feeling. next, accept that you have these feelings (instead of stuffing them down or trying to escape from them). and finally use these feelings to help you make a decision about what and what not to eat. The author provides a thorough description of each of these steps along with tips and tools to help you accomplish each one. With practice, this will all become second nature and you will be able to face each "moment of decision" with a mindful pause during which you use your emotions to help guide you to a smart decision that is in line with your goals. Brilliantly simple!

If you have never dabbled in the arenas of mindfulness or Emotional Intelligence before, there will certainly be a learning curve. But it’s all so logical (even for my very scientifically minded left brain!) that it doesn’t seem like a chore or anything that is impossible to do. It’s just something you need to work on and practice in order to achieve success.

Although this is billed as a weight-loss book (see the subtitle) I think it is important to point out that this is more of a Mindful Eating book. Good to know this for two reasons… First, if it is your goal to lose weight, then that’s perfect. the Eat.Q. concept can definitely get you there.

Put down those diet books, and raise your Eat.Q. instead.

A synthesis of the concepts of emotional intelligence (EI), emotional eating, and mindfulness, Eat.Q. is the capacity to make healthy food choices from an insight-driven mindset vs. an emotion-driven one.

To raise your Eat.Q., Susan Albers presents her EAT method (which, thankfully, is anything but a diet!):
“A combination of mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills adapted from the EI model, EAT helps you harness your emotional intelligence to alter your relationship with food and make healthy eating decisions. It can help you manage your eating, withstand cravings, and recover from slips or binges, even if you’ve struggled in the past. Here’s your direction: increase your EI, and you increase your ability to stop emotional eating…However, to make the best use of this new tool, you must be willing to see the `problem’ of overeating in a new way. It’s not a nail you can pound into submission with a hammer–this is, with dieting. It’s a mind-body issue that restriction can’t fix.” (p. 60)

Appropriately enough, her book is like a delicious three course meal. The first part of the book looks at how the four dimensions of emotional intelligence (EI)–the abilities to perceive, understand, use, and manage feelings–influence your relationship with food. By strengthening these abilities, you’ll be more likely to take a mindful pause and respond vs. react when it comes to making food decisions. The second part of the book explores the common barriers to raising Eat.Q.: dieting, pleasure seeking, social eating, stress, and emotional trauma. (Ring any <dinner> bells with you?) The final part of the book presents 25 tools for putting the EAT method into your daily practice.
