Frustrated with dieting? Tired of feeling deprived? Learn how to NEVER eat anything - the right way!
I love working with people who are frustrated with dieting, and ready to be healthy.
One of the questions I hear a LOT from these clients in the beginning is:
“So, if I want to eat healthy, does that mean that I can NEVER eat (favorite unhealthy food) ever again?”
Or….
“I would love to try a plant-based diet, but I could NEVER give up my burgers”.
There is a lot of energy around NEVER.
Surprisingly, a diet isn't always the solution to a healthier you!
You hear it all the time; “I am being good this year and not going to have xyz bad foods, so I don’t gain any weight.” This is the time of year when people join Weight Watchers and go on diets, so they can stay in control during the holidays. For some it works, and that holds out hope for everyone else. For the majority it not only does not keep them in control; the guilt, deprivation and old familiar patterns lead to giving up on the idea and then really over indulging since they blew it anyway. By the time New Year’s rolls around, they have put on nearly 10 pounds – twice the average holiday weight gain. Have you ever done this or know people who have? What happens in January when the holidays are over? Does this process get repeated?

Maybe you've even found yourself saying this lately.

The psychotherapist from TLC's 'Big Medicine' shares what she's learned about food addiction.
The recent statistics from the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) has reported that about one-third (33.8%) of U.S. adults are obese. That number rises every day, and keeping up with it is more difficult than keeping up with your stocks. I work with the finest bariatric surgeons in the U.S. They are dedicated to helping their patients lose weight in an effort to thwart diseases, and minimize current disease progression. I also run several 12-step food addiction groups in the city of Houston and online in many cities. I talk to morbidly obese patients everyday. I teach them, counsel them, eat with them, and spend endless hours reading their journals. These patients have a story to tell, but we aren’t listening and we continue asking the wrong questions.
