Mindful Eating Made Simple review
A $17.99 ebook on mindful eating, credited to a doctor with an invented food science doctorate.
Pass
Mindful eating has better support than most things in this catalogue: slowing down, noticing fullness and separating emotional hunger from physical hunger are used in real clinical practice, including in eating disorder treatment, and they help people who eat on autopilot. That makes the subject choice sound. The execution is the usual: nothing cited, no professional named, and a credited doctor with a PhD in Food Science claimed for twenty-six years, which is a real field but not one this person can be shown to have studied. Anyone with a diagnosed or suspected eating disorder should work with a clinician rather than a downloaded guide.

Slowing down, noticing fullness
Mindfulness and hunger cues, eating slowly, emotional eating, portions and habit building.
These techniques are used in genuine clinical practice, which is rare for this catalogue.
Where it stops being self-help
Binge eating, restriction and purging need treatment, not a mindfulness exercise.
The listing carries only a generic educational disclaimer.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Sylvia Donald with a PhD in Food Science and 26 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 435000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
