Letting go of diet culture
It's less about diet, nutrition and weight loss and more about body awareness, and self-acceptance.
There’s growing scientific evidence that restrictive dieting makes you want to eat more, slows your metabolism and makes it even harder to lose weight.
Aren't you tired of a diet defining what you should eat, what you're suppose to look like and how you should feel?
In Feed The Brain you will discover your body's own internal cues for recognizing hunger and full. Isn't it time for you to tap into what your body is telling you?

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR:
- People looking for a fast weight loss program.
When on a fast-reducing diet, the brain thinks its in starvation mode. The minute you're off the diet, the body wants to get back into balance and craves food, the weight goes back on. FEED THE BRAIN, is a process that looks at the inside of you not the outside of quick fixes.
- Eating a restrictive diet
A restrictive diet, sets up you up for disaster because its based on willpower. The brain hasn't done the work to create new neural pathways of changing your habits. Mindful eating begins to sort out those new pathways so your willpower is not always challenged.
- Aspiring for a slim/ideal body
diet culture has brainwashed into thiking we have to have a thin perfect body. We come in all sizes and shapes and some bodies will never be perfect and slim. in this program, we explore our values and beliefs about body awareness.
- Looking for a meal plan
As a nutritionist, I've been trained to create meal plans for clients. There are differences to being told what to eat then just eating what you want. Being organized for your meal is wonderful and should be based on your own meal plan.
- Not interested in the mind/body connection
Developng awarenessa about how the mind and body communicate is pivotal to understanding your needs. In eastern religion practices, the body and body function as one working together to create balance. The body has the ability to heal itself and is always seeking balance.

What people say about it.....
Mindful Eating has changed the way I eat food. I used to gobble it down without thinking. Now I sit down, look at my food, feel grateful for what's on my plate and slowly chew enjoying the sensual quality of each bite.
