Are you a “yo-yo” dieter who can’t seem to keep weight off? Does food make you feel better when you’re upset, bored, or lonely? Do you obsess over your weight, vacillating between over-eating and under-eating, or have an unhealthy relationship with food? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. More than half of Americans are overweight and more than 36% are obese.
A different approach
While nutrition and exercise are incredibly important, most wellness and/or weight loss plans do not target the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors underlying obesity, weight gain, food addiction, motivation, body image, and over-eating. Research has shown that psychological behavior modification is the key to long-term weight loss success.
