FAQs

Does it help?

Q

If I have "food freedom" won't I just binge on junk food?​

A

No, because by learning how to tune into and to trust what your body needs you will eat less and start to crave high nutritional food. Improved nutritional knowledge will encourage you to treat your body better.

Q

How do I track my progress if I'm discouraged from weighing myself?

A

You can weigh yourself occasionally but we aim to reduce the power that the scales have over you. Progress becomes about how your behaviours change and how you feel

Q

I'm on a WLS journey, how can you help me?

A

I can encourage healthy eating patterns by helping you understand the drivers for your eating.  I can support your nutritional needs to maximise the effect of your surgery.

Q

I've been eating like this for years, can I really change?

A

Absolutely!  I had binge eating disorder for 40 years.  I thought it was the only way I could exist but I successfully changed my relationship with food. I then retrained with a Master Practitioner from the NCfED to help others with BED and bulimia. 

​

Q

I can't cook. Can I improve my diet easily and cheaply

A

Any suggested changes in nutrition will be accompanied by practical ideas of meals to incorporate changes.  And always taking into account your lifestyle and preferences.

Q

Is it really possible to manage my weight without dieting?

​

A

If you have weight to lose, YES!  With a mindful eating approach you will eat only what your body needs, allowing it to find its natural weight.  Letting go of food restriction stops overeating.   

Q

How will I know how much to eat if I'm not counting calories?

A

You will learn to understand your hunger cues and the different types of hunger which relate to you and why.   The letting go of counting will be liberating!
