Breaking the Food Seduction One Mindful Bite at a Time

Are you tired of overeating? Do you often feel like the food is in control? This course is for anyone who’s food choices often lead to feelings of frustration, shame or anger — regardless of whether or not you feel like you need to lose weight.

 Eating is pleasurable, if it wasn’t we wouldn’t be here. We have more pleasurable food available to us than ever before. And it’s killing us.

This program will give you the tools and information you need to take control of your food choices.

You’ll gain insight into the many factors that influence food choices, from you as an individual to the systemic/cultural reasons.

In addition, we’ll focus on finding ways to avoid eating more than we intended and introduce some science-backed habit change strategies.

First, we’ll address the problem

• The basic neuroscience of how food interacts with the pleasure centers of our brains
• How the foods we eat influence dopamine production and why it drives us to eat more than we want
• Why food that’s bad for you tastes so good
• How food companies manipulate us to eat more than we want
• Why diets, moderation and portion control don’t work in the long-term

Then we’ll look at a solution

• The science of habit change
• How a mindfulness practice can help you take control of your food choices
• The basics of mindfulness: How to get started
• Incorporating a mindfulness practice into daily life and eating habits
• Eating guidelines that make sense

My unique perspective

This class was born out of my life-long struggle with food. I’ve spent the past 12 years searching for an answer. What I found was far more complex than going on a diet or exercising daily or practicing portion control. By understanding how the addictive process was working inside me and by applying the mindfulness that I’d been practicing for years, I was able to stop overeating, lose weight and keep it off.

If you want to be in control of what and how much you eat, then you’re invited to join this class.

FAQs

What if I can’t make one of the Zoom classes?
An edited recording of the Zoom class will be available.

How do I access the course materials after it has ended?

What if I don’t have time to listen to the videos before class?
It won’t be too much of a problem. You’ll definitely get more out of the class if you do, but you can still learn by coming to class.

Karen presented strategies during her course that were very practical and easy to apply. She also provides a wealth of evidence based material to support the lectures.  I am looking forward to making the suggested changes to slowly but effectively break the cycle of food addiction.
