First New Clients are Old Raw Food Boot Camp Members

I am very excited about my first two clients who signed up for my new non-raw program to beat obesity. Both have been in and out of Raw Food Boot Camp a few times. They loved the accountability, but they just couldn't do 100% raw long term. Really, they just couldn't do any weight loss diet long-term. And who blames them? Most of the women I deal with have been on one diet or another their whole lives and have no idea how to eat outside of the diet/binge cycle. Binge isn't really the right word, it is more just uncontrollable eating in an attempt to have that one last meal before going back on a fast weight loss diet, but as we all know that one last meal can last for months! This time we are approaching the diet differently. We are actually working backwards and finding a maintenance plan that will work for them. The plan is to find a diet they can live on for the rest of their lives and then work from there to create a weight loss diet based on how fast they want to lose the weight and how much exercise they are willing to do. We are now working through the Fat Brains Lies workbook and seeing where they really are with their eating and exercise. At the end of our four weeks of discovering what works and what doesn't, we are going to design a diet that they can use for both weight loss and maintenance. The three of us are very excited about this new approach. Their feedback has been more than positive as for the first time in their lives they are shedding the fear/guilt of eating and looking forward to a life of healthy choices.
