☀️☀️ THE SUMMER OF EVOLUTION ☀️☀️
I’m so excited about The Healthy Eating Habits Academy….
My goal is to help you fall in love with the process of healthy eating,
so that you can learn how to live this way forever and NEVER diet again.
I often speak to people who just can’t seem to get this whole diet thing right. They want to make it a lifestyle, they want to make long-lasting change, but there’s a part of them that just doesn’t believe they really can.
When Kelly hired me, she didn’t believe she was capable of “being fixed.” I’ve tried everything,” she said. “It doesn’t work. Diets don’t work for me.” I suggested that she was perfect the way she was, and that she certainly didn’t need any fixing... she just needed a new system.
If you want to truly change your relationship with food, it will not be a quick fix. However, there is one simple practice that you can start right now – and it will completely revolutionize the way you eat. Take a photo of everything you eat.
Thank you, Terry.
And as Terry has said, this food thing goes way beyond the food - if you're willing to do the necessary deep work and explore what's really going on.
Liz lost 90 pounds and started kickboxing 4 times per week through me coaching her through the EvolutionEat methodology. What's on the other side of your transformation?

Thank you, as always, @sophisticatedcaveman
At EvolutionEat, we don’t go hungry. By keeping full and energized, you won’t feel like you’re making the “sacrifice” of dieting. In fact, at the beginning I prefer you to eat way more of the good stuff than ever feel tempted by the bad.
Kelly was addicted to sugar. No matter what she did, she couldn’t seem to stop herself from snacking on candy all throughout the day. She was what we call a “hoarder.” She’d have candy everywhere: in her pocketbook, in her car, at the office, in her closet, even at her bedside.
Food is only one of many ways to get the emotional reward you’re looking for. And the reward you’re looking for can be one of many things: Pain relief. Stress relief. Novelty. Excitement. Relationship. Connection.
Having a million things coming at us all day, from screens to phones to demands of others – it’s a lot. It’s way more than we were designed to handle, but feeling stress is part of the 21st Century. You’re not weak for feeling it: we all do. That's why abusing food is so common.
Food CAN be social in nature. But unless it’s a feast of gluttony (like Thanksgiving), I bet you don’t go crazy with food in front of others. Chances are, you have an intense personal relationship with food, it largely occurs in private, and it’s gotten to be too much.
If you want to permanently change the way you eat, you have to understand your relationship with food, which means you have to understand how habits work and see how your emotions are leading you to look to food for a sense of fulfilment it was never meant for.
Can you imagine craving to continually eat food that makes you feel amazing, to eat a full day’s worth of meals with zero judgment, to be totally free from food’s grasp over you, where you can choose healthy options and feel great about them? What can you accomplish then?
The food you eat is important, obviously, but evolving your relationship with food and permanently changing the way you eat is really about everything else.
Most people know what is and isn’t healthy. You don’t need some guy on the internet to tell you what to eat. You don’t need another diet book to tell you the “secret” to success. Accessing the right information is not the barrier to your success.
If you want to lose as much weight as quickly as possible, then I am NOT your guide. What I teach instead is Evolution. Success in any endeavour is an evolution, it does not happen overnight. It cannot happen overnight. Your weight is no different.
I believe that emotional eating is the primary reason people can’t stick to their diets. We’re all emotional beings and often let our emotions dictate our decisions, even if we know better. Sound familiar?
