Are you trapped by diet dogma?

It's time to stop being a prisoner of diet dogma. 

Steve Jobs, who knew how to create change, said,  

"Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become."

Diet programs are what someone else thinks you should eat. While the idea of eating healthy and balanced makes complete sense, eating a certain # of calories a day because someone tells you to is a disconnect from your physical reality.

Intuitive eating is being tuned into yourself physically and emotionally. Your physical needs are unique. It's not rigid because your life is full of the unexpected and unlikely. 

Life is not all neat and tidy. It's bold and unpredictable. You can take control of your eating by using your intuition to stay in touch with your body. You can choose what feels right.

Eating intuitively is always a direct response to physical needs. When you've had an exhausting day, you may not feel hungry- so don't eat. Your body may prefer the nourishment of sleep. As you learn to recognize intuitive cues from your body and trust your private intuitive voice, life get easier.

It's good to learn about what's healthy but your body responds to food in a completely unique way from everything else! This means, what fills me up may not satisfy you, or what your friend eats may cause bloat in your stomach.

Intuitive eating is a relaxed flexible attitude that's tuned into your unique needs. You work with your body for enduring weight loss instead of forcing change that doesn't last.

Dieting doesn't work long term when you plug into formula. 95% of people who diet gain back more weight than they lost. Why keep doing something that makes you feel badly about yourself and doesn't work?

Be bold. Think like Steve Jobs and get results you want!

Diet or Eat Intuitively?

Are you ready to let go of the stress of having to think about every thing you eat in terms of calories, portion control or programs?
Are you ready to eat for energy and good health?  
If you answered 'yes' to the above questions, you're ready to eat intuitively. 
Classic dieting doesn't work. It's a fact that 95% of dieters re-gain their weight. Diets create stress that rolls into all aspects of your life. 

Dieting:
  • causes emotional dependency on program structure.   
  •  creates dependency on calorie counting.
  • makes you doubt yourself which sabotages self-esteem.
  • claims to know more about your body than you do. 
  • sabotages your relationships by creating stress at mealtime.
Intuitive eaters maintain their healthy weight. Eating intuitively is liberating. 
Intuitive eating:
  •  is a focus on your how your body feels, what you value, and your personal goals. 
  • means you're the expert. 
  • brings an open relationship with food and eating that is flexible. 
  • has no emotional component so you enjoy eating. 
  • can bring new life to your relationships. 
When you make the choice to be an intuitive eater, you begin. Yep, it's that easy.  
Doing what you really believe takes courage. Making the choice is like turning a corner. The fact is: eating intuitively is a choice.
 
Intuition helps control of your eating because it keeps you clear about your priorities and your boundaries. That protects you.

Using intuition means, emotions don't rule, you do! When clarity is the foundation of your efforts to be your healthy weight, it happens. 

Everything you do takes effort, and every effort you make creates results. Be clear about your eating goals, and you will achieve them.  Make the choice.
