Non-dieting is Intuitive Eating
Fed up with your dieting life? Ready to ditch the diet? You don't have to give up on your dreams. Learn a revolutionary, yet simple way to return to normal eating.
Dieting works for a few. But if you've dieted before, or you have any sort of eating issue such as stress eating, binge eating disorder, emotional eating, or other eating disorder, you might have already discovered what the experts are now saying--diets do not offer the answer, and often make matters worse.
There is another way. It's called non-dieting, and it's all over the web these days. If you haven't heard of it before, that's because there's no product to market, no quick fix someone can sell you. Non-dieting is about a return to old-fashioned normal eating.
Non-dieting means you can eat every kind of food, including all those foods that were forbidden on your diet. When you non-diet, you wait for your body's hunger signals to eat, then you eat with some control. Lastly, you stop eating at early signs that you are no longer hungry.
This method of weight loss and weight maintenance really works, and is as simple as it sounds. But for folks with eating issues, they'll also need to deal with their overeating, and that requires learning just enough cognitive therapy that they can change their thinking and find other ways to cope with stress.
Linda Moran teaches non-dieting combined with cognitive therapy. Her book, blog, and newsletters can help you unlearn what you've learned from the dieting world, and restore your sanity. These resources will help you exit the diet trap once and for all, even if you suffer from compulsive overeating or diet addiction.
Would you like to stop treating your body so harshly? Would you like to think about other things? Linda Moran believes that our struggles to lose weight, and even our struggles to stop dieting, are often borne of erroneous thinking. When our thinking changes, our feelings change, and so does our behavior. Suddenly, we can succeed.
With cognitive therapy you will be able to to bypass grueling feelings work or revisiting your childhood, and instead will focus on your present-day thinking. Cognitive therapy helps you line up your self-talk with reality a little bit better. You'll be surprised to find out how much our actions and feelings, even sabotaging our own weight loss, are dictated by faulty thinking.
In addition, Linda Moran teaches the hunger and fullness method--the only method of eating kind enough to your body to allow it to do what it knows is best for you. Together, non-dieting and cognitive therapy will lead you to normal eating and a new-found food wisdom all your own.
