YES, YOU LITERALLY CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE, AND EAT IT TOO!
I will be offering an 8-week workshop using Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat beginning this fall 2010. Please contact me if you are interested in attending the workshop.
Many people that diet find themselves
trapped in an “eat-repent-repeat” cycle—first depriving, then craving, then
overeating, then feeling guilty, and returning to prior habits.
Michelle May, M.D., creator of Am
I Hungry?® mindful eating program, has written Eat What You Love, Love What You
Eat: How to Break Your Eat-Repent-Repeat Cycle, revealing an
alternative to yo-yo dieting that does not require weighing and measuring food,
counting points, or eating pre-packaged meals. Instead, May empowers readers to
eat fearlessly, using their natural cues of hunger and fullness to guide them.
May combines her background in
medicine and psychology with her own personal struggles with yo-yo dieting for
twenty years. After developing a healthy, balanced relationship with food, May,
an award-winning author and inspirational speaker, spent the last ten years
teaching individuals to take charge of the their lives and learn to resolve
mindless and emotional eating.
“Try as we might, diets simply do
not work long-term,” adds May. “Most diet plans lead to guilt-driven eating,
followed by punishment-laden exercise. But we each have the ability to manage
our weight effortlessly using our internal cues of hunger and fullness. You
really can eat what you love—there are no good or bad foods. Exercise is not
used to earn the right to eat, but a means to achieve a vibrant, healthy
lifestyle.”
I will be offering an 8-week
workshop using Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat beginning this fall
2010. Please contact me if you are interested in attending the workshop.
Participants will learn how to:
· Rediscover when, what, and how much to eat without
restrictive rules
· Resolve mindless and emotional eating
· Meet their needs without using food to cope, distract, or avoid issues
· Experience the pleasure of eating the foods they love
without guilt or bingeing
· Build a fun fitness program that boosts metabolism and
increases energy
· Learn the truth about nutrition without confusing, arbitrary
rules
· Prepare delicious, nutritious meals using simple recipes
“The problem with yoyo dieting is that it is a constant struggle
that eats away at our time, energy, and self-esteem. Eat What You Love isn’t
about what to eat; it is about why we eat in the first place. Ultimately, it is not about being good,
it’s about feeling good,” adds May.
