Very interesting article. I wonder how might mindfulness work with eating disorders!

Hi @mfsegura, a quick google search returns several articles including evidence-based journal articles discussing the use of mindfulness and eating disorders. You may find this Mayo Clinic newsletter interesting to read.
Special Report: Mindfulness http://healthletter.mayoclinic.com/health/pdf/283/201310.PDF

See the bottom of page 5, where I took this excerpt:
"Early results from studies investigating the use of mindfulness to treat obesity
and eating disorders are promising. Most show that people who used the
principles of mindfulness experienced greater self-acceptance and psychological
flexibility, increased physical activity, and greater reductions in weight.
Mindfulness-based programs also are being used to treat eating disorders such
as bulimia and binge-eating disorders."
