Most of us are challenged around food today with the abundance. The sessions are aimed at looking at your beliefs, ideas around food, exercise so you experience more fulfilment in life. Some practical benefits like learning to breath properly and connecting with the natural elements while eating a balanced healthy diet and exercising are part of the secrets of living a feel good factor, quality life!

Social Pressure

We are all under pressure to eat well and the greatest problem is how to sort out the truth from the information and advice that is driven by marketing.

The influence of social pressure can have the interpretation that if people are slim they are good and they are in control of their lives and are admired. and if you are overweight you are out of control and to be pitied.

People that consult for weight concerns generally have low self-worth or self-esteem because their feelings are affected in proportion to what they weigh. Fat is bad, slim is good and they experience these thoughts and feelings at some level everyday.

Food Intolerance

You may have food intolerance if you suffer from any of the following symptoms; bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dark half circles under the eyes, excessive flatulence, runny nose and tiredness or fatigue.

Wheat and dairy products have been topical in the food tolerance area and eliminating either wheat or dairy products may not be necessary for every person, as there is a strong case for eating too much of one particular type of food that is causing the above symptoms or problems.

Compulsive Eating

The compulsive part of eating comes from our personality the Loving Carer side of our nature (click on personality types). Where we often feel very strong emotions and regularly struggle to express these emotions to others, therefore resulting in feeling depressed.

Length of Treatment

The length of treatment varies from person to person. Usually, four to six sessions.

Clearing Negative Emotions

Most of us use food to anesthetise, escape and run away from our negative emotions whether we consciously or unconsciously are aware of distracting. Some people who have stopped smoking turn to another compulsively oral way of satisfying that gapping void with-in.

My expertise is in finding out how your thinking and emotions are effecting you and challenging your false beliefs and ideas so you experience more fulfilment in you’re life.

Exercise

If you have a busy life schedule and find time to exercise difficult then this new way of losing weight could be for you. Research is now suggesting that exercising for just 12 minutes a week is far more beneficial than jogging 20 minutes 3 times a week and you could lose one stone in 5 weeks if you’re over weight.

The challenge is short bursts of high intensity cardiovascular (making you’re breathing faster).

Do... 30 seconds of high intensity walking, running, swimming, cycling, etc… then rest for... 30 seconds. Then again, ...30 seconds high intensity and rest... 30 seconds. Do twice more so you have done the sequence four times in four minutes.

Note: Please see you’re G.P if you have any concerns.
