Are you struggling with the 'creeping kilograms?' Many of us find that not only
has our weight increased over the last few years but the diets either no longer
work or become harder and harder to commit to.
This session will help you re-evaluate your approach to losing weight and give
you the foundations for creating a plan that makes it easy for you to reach and
maintain a weight that feels right for you.
Take away a tool that will enable you to assess your eating type, whether you
are a protein or carbohydrate based eater, and eating style, whether you prefer
to be a grazer or three meals a day, and develop an eating plan that works for
you.
You will have the opportunity to:
* Explore the myths and reality of losing weight
* Examine self-defeating eating habits and how to replace them with energy
enhancing food
* Learn about one change you can make today that will not only help you lose
weight but improve your ability to think and manage your emotions more
constructively
