Eat Right Now

I have lived a healthy lifestyle and worked out consistently since I was 18, but always felt like I couldn't "control" my cravings or I didn't have the willpower to only eat the amount of food I needed. I have always wanted peace around food and I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve experienced such calm and sanity in making healthy choices and eating appropriate portions. The best part is it's easy. This is not a willpower, control your way to skinny. This is a wholistic approach to learning about your mind, body, and how they function together. You'll learn how to accept who are today yet train your brain for tomorrow. Not only are my clothes are getting looser but I am also seeing the benefits of this program in so many other areas of my life - my body image, my relationships, stress management. There is so much interactive support and amazingly, you have access to medical professionals (including program creator) online and in weekly group sessions- for the price of a subscription! It's a flexible approach that takes advantage of technology to make it easy for you. There is a lot to learn and you definitely get what you put into the program. Once I started prioritizing this program I saw tremendous, sustainable results. If you are someone who is looking for more than a new willpower trick or detox diet, then this program is for you. It goes deeper than weightless, deeper than learning about diets; this is a body, mind and soul program all backed and supported by thorough and thoughtful science. I highly recommend this program.

I should start by saying a lot of this is not new information to someone who has been struggling with food issues their whole life. I'll follow that by saying a lot of it is COMPLETELY new information! The thing that is unique about how this app works is that it teaches not only the what but the WHY! If you're a learner or someone who needs that why like I am this is a revelation. The lessons are also broken down into wonderful bite sized pieces and have a beautiful flow to them and a connected follow through of "what to do with this information" that is usually lacking. I have found that most of the programs that I've tried have either given information with no direction on what to do with the information or they give a list of "dos and don'ts" with little to no education on why. At the end of week one I remember the lesson mentioning that this is not an intellectual quest to think things out, but simply learning to connect with our body and emotions. (Something like that) Its very true too! The joy and power in this program is that it helps connect us to those emotions and sensations that we've spent a lifetime squelching with food! At least for me this has been a revelation!

In this last Week I have begun to notice more of my habit loops and where I am letting my body sensations dictate my actions. Instead it will be more helpful and healthy to recognize the body sensation, accept that it is happening as then become curious about it. Noting any feelings I am having at the time. Once I slowed down to take these simple steps I begin to understand more that I have been just mindlessly eating out of habit or boredom or stress etc. being involved with this app and the community of real people I am slowing and taking note of this happening. After this first week I have begun to enjoy my meals, eat smaller portions because I eat slower, I feel full before I’ve eaten the whole meal. Before this experience this week I would eat one helping and then go back for more. I even used the exercises in this app to eat only 3 salt & pepper wings, 1/2 cup of fried rice and one egg roll at a lunch with co workers. Before having the tools I have now I always had triple that because the food is so great tasting and probably full of MSG. I was full after the three. This program like any other will give you back what you put in. I highly recommend it!
