What if you could trust yourself to eat whatever you want and stop dieting forever?
Eat normally (without thinking about food all of the time and having constant cravings) and feel comfortable in your body
You’re at your highest weight ever and it seems like no matter how hard you try, you can’t get rid of it.
And since you hit menopause, it’s just gotten tougher.
You know that diets don't work but what other option is there? You feel kinda stuck.
You’re feeling scared for your health. You don’t know what to eat anymore or who to believe and you’re overwhelmed by all the mixed messages out there.
You can’t control your food cravings and you feel like once you start eating you won't know how to stop. It's like you have a bottomless pit.
You just want to eat normally and feel normal.
Imagine with me for a minute...
What would life be like if you didn't have to think about food all of the time?
You're able to eat that piece of chocolate cake without the guilt and stop when you’re satisfied.
Eating with others becomes a pleasurable experience because you trust yourself to enjoy eating what you want.
You're able to enjoy that special dinner without feeling like you blew it and have to start fresh tomorrow to get back on track
You're able to eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full.
You’re finally able to explore what matters most to you because now your brain isn't taken over by diet thoughts.
Hi, I'm Sara
A Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor helping women in midlife struggling with chronic dieting and weight cycling.
Over my 20+ years as a nutritionist, I have found that many of my clients feel stuck.
They want so badly to eat "well" and achieve that "healthy" weight - but no matter how hard they try they can't seem to be able to get there.
In fact, with each attempt, it becomes harder and harder.
I remember one client saying to me “I don’t know what else I can cut out!"
Intuitive Eating recognizes that you have the inner wisdom to decide when you're hungry and when to stop eating because you've had enough.
This approach helps you learn to eat in ways that are satisfying and that nourish your body.
It's a compassionate self-care approach. This means that you have the right to enjoy food and take care of your self-care needs.
Intuitive Eating recognizes that your body shape and size is as unique as your thumb print and should be respected and honoured.
The Intuitive Eating approach is also evidenced-based - there's solid research to back it up.
