Obesity – It’s Not Just What You Eat
Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall recently said that Obesity has become the ‘new normal’. It affects so many of us, two thirds of us are overweight and many suffer from Diabetes and related health issues – YES eating healthy fresh food instead of takeaways and junk is part of the solution… BUT habits are powerful – many of us KNOW what we SHOULD eat yet still find healthy eating a huge challenge.
Habits and emotions drive food choices – which means it’s all happening inside the brain. Knowing that a piece of cake is contributing to excess weight and ill-health is not enough to stop us eating it – or millions of people every year would not be trying a new diet, yet again. Learning to control your brain – and more importantly change it – will help you to lose weight.
I created The Placebo Diet as the first and only weight-loss program that combines a scientifically created simple-to-follow nutrition plan with practical mind exercises which permanently change the patterns and habits that make you overeat. The two elements combined, are the powerhouse to transforming weight and health. The nutrition system helps identify which body systems may be out of line and helps bring your body back to fat burning efficiency and optimum health, and the mind exercises help create new habits that mean the desire to overeat is lost and you will be naturally driven to make food choices that bring you more energy, more vitality and reduce your waistline.
The Placebo effect, a medical phenomenon is when a strong belief that something is good for you changes your physiology and the behavioral techniques of The Placebo Diet program are thoroughly researched and based on cutting edge science (the process of self-directed neuroplasticity), which brings credibility to the programme, something missing in so many fad diets.
I have over 25 years’ experience helping people achieve their goals as a nutritionist and weight-loss coach, with my Master’s in Nutrition & Exercise Science, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Tapping (Thought Field Therapy) and Clinical Hypnotherapy training, and over 25 years working in the fitness industry and running my own health clubs, I’ve seen how so many diets that only work on the food element, may work for a short period but ultimately they fail to achieve a healthy mind and a healthy, fat burning body.
